Intriguing twist to the mystery of Jack the Ripper.

Rating: 8/10 (28 November 2003)

The movie started off slow and I wondered why I was watching it. Then it got into the action of investigating the Jack the Ripper mystery and, no pun intended, came alive. The movie is loosely based on facts surrounding the Jack the Ripper murders of prostitutes in London. One follows Johnny Depp's role as the inspector investigating those multiple murders as well as his love for one. Once past the first 10 to fifteen minutes, the movie is easy to follow; there are no dull moments. Fine acting by all and well worth the time to view. I rated it an eight.
