A glimpse into the minds of people from the past

Rating: 9/10 (21 February 2002)

Spoiler Alert It is rare to experience a movie based on supposed true details of such a well known person. Jack the Ripper has been portrayed as i would imagine him to be, sick in the mind and eventually punished by the people encouraging him to kill so many. It was a twist in the plot that his killings were all for the sake of the throne. Johnny Depp as always played the addict and somewhat distraught character perfectly. The remainder of the cast also gave great performances especially with all the British accents flying all over the place.
