who is Jack the Ripper

Rating: 6/10 (12 April 2009)

i've always been fascinated by jack the ripper ever since i was a kid whether it was movies or TV programs about him. the story takes place in London 1888, where Jack is slaying prostitutes in a wealthy area of London. there has always been a great mystery as to who is jack the ripper was it someone connected to the prince for his indiscretions, was it a commoner,, or a laborer, tradesmen,, maybe a doctor,, well i'll guess we'll never know. Johnny Depp does a decent job as Inspector Aberline trying to figure out just who is Jack the Ripper,, although it is a fairly decent tale, the movie yet seems to be so convoluted with needless scenes , sometimes i didn't know which way to turn, there should have been a few scenes taken out cause they really didn't need to be there in the first place. i think maybe Depp was a little over his head on this one.
