Enjoyable despite obvious flaws

Rating: 10/10 (6 July 2018)

This is a story that has been told numerous times over the years, and like the Titanic fable, is something that will fascinate people for hundreds of years to come.
The story of Jack The Ripper and his series of murders in the Whitechapel area of 19th century London is presented by two American brothers, who add their own particular twist on the story. Yes, London looks miserable and morosely unpleasant, but it adds a degree of mystique and squalor to the tale.
Using Americans as main characters and expecting them to master the cockney accent is a bridge too far, and if you pay attention you'll figure out the plot twist fairly early, but I enjoyed this film immensely, and if you suspend your disbelief, I'm certain that you will too! Thanks for reading!
