Thrilling

Rating: 8/10 (3 December 2002)

This is a great film if you're looking for an intriguing blend of legend and fiction. From Johnny Depp on down, the acting is solid, with special mention to Ian Holm (Sir William Gull) and Robbie Coltrane (Peter Godley), who were both magnetic on film. The grit and darkness of Victorian London is at times, stifling and oppressive, serving as a perfect backdrop to this tale. I'd recommend it to anyone intrigued by mysteries, especially those who are curious by nature and like me, went home after the film and gorged themselves on what I could find of the given topic. there's certainly no lack of information for this drama from a historic perspective.. Great film.
