Very Good

Rating: 8/10 (29 October 2001)

(Very small possibility of a spoiler)
Overall, a very good movie. Excellent writing, acting, directing, and, especially, the sets all came together well. One very good point, from the point of view of someone who's followed the Ripper for a while and toured the sites of the murders- the movie does *not* butcher history (no pun intended). With the exception of the quasi-supernatural bits (which are integral to the plot but don't affect the "history") and the eventual solution (no one knows the real answer, of course), it's all as it happened. But if you know the history and think you know, based on the names, that you know how it will end- boy, are you in for a surprise.
'Nuff said.
