Depp Is On Top Form But Graham Is Too Attractive

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2018)

Continuing my plan to watch every Johnny Depp movie in order, I come to From Hell.
I have always liked this one, and find it enjoyable. Depp is in top form, Robbie Coltrane is always reliable, Ian Holm hams it up brilliantly and the under rated Paul Rhys is as solid as ever. That man should have had a much bigger career.
If there is one criticism of the cast it is Heather Graham. Ignoring her accent, she is simply too attractive!! I can't imagine a single punter who would pay for sex with any of the other prostitutes, when Graham's Mary Kelly was about!!
Dark, brooding and full of intense atmosphere, I usually revisit this every couple of years.
From Hell grossed $31 million the domestic box office to end 2001 as the 75th highest grossing movie of the year.
Following the high of Sleepy Hollow $101 mill (21st) Depp's more mainstream movies were headed in the wrong direction. Chocolat $71 mill (32nd) Blow $52 mill (47th) From Hell $31 mill (75th)
His next movie released changed everything.
