Misleading

Rating: Null/10 (17 December 2002)

Considering this movie was based on a graphic novel, I was expecting a lot of blood and gore. But, there isn't much of it. The camera pans over the crime scenes quickly and never lets you have a good view. You do get to see a couple of throat slashings. Johnny Depp and Heather Graham are miscast. The director really made a mistake by making all the other prostitutes trashy and filthy looking, while Heather Graham has pretty combed hair and clean looking. Toward the end, the scene where they reveal "Jack" and make him have these cold, big black eyes was chilling. But, most of this movie is slow and boring.

FINAL VERDICT: Don't watch this if you are sleepy because there is not enough action to keep you awake. I do not recommend this movie unless you just want to criticize all the historical inaccuracies and the miscast actors.
