"From Hell".* * *Pretty interesting but not spectacular.

Rating: 6/10 (8 November 2001)

"From Hell" which is directed by the Hughes Brothers of "Menace II Society" fame is a pretty good film centering on the murders of Jack the Ripper.Johnny Depp gives a performance in a film that I thought was alot better than "The Ninth Gate".Never having read the graphic comic that this film is based on,it is impossible to compare this film to the comic.So I won't.I was pretty much entertained during the screening of this film for which I paid five bucks for at the Cinemark Theatre in Hadley,Massachusetts.The film can be bloody at times which I thought was pretty good by my standards.After all,this film is about the murders of Jack the Ripper.Not the best of 2001 but very entertaining.
