There was nothing surprising about the casting as the main actors had all played similar roles in the past. The ‘mad genius’ is a role well suited to Johnny Depp’’s acting style and he certainly was the stand out performer.
The singing was good. Particularly enjoyed the song about making the pies and the suitable vocations for best ‘meat’. The killings themselves would be a little too realistic for some (blood spurting, throats being cut…)
Overall a solid movie.
Rating: 7.5 / 10
This was the best movie I have seen in a long time…
