From Hell Watching This Movie

Rating: Null/10 (7 August 2003)

Depp is miscast as a shy, dim witted, idiot savant English detective in this "Hollywoodization" of the Jack Ripper scenario. He attempts to keep an English accent but doesn't realize he sounds nowhere near that tonality. The movie, for the most part, is quite boring and doesn't offer anything significant except loud music, gory MTV style editing and too many whores in the streets of London to look at. What we have here is an experienced director (the Huges brothers) who do not even know where to begin in this mess. Not recommended.
