This movie assumes a great deal and deludes the rest.

Rating: Null/10 (8 July 2002)

I applaud the attempt of the writers to draw you into a `who really shot Kennedy?' type of plot, but the movie chases rabbits and the viewer soon becomes bored and uninterested. Although there was much speculation and many suspects, the truth is that the identity of `Jack the Ripper' was never known. The movie is well made and Johnny Depp plays his character flawlessly, with the exception of the occasional slip on the British accent. If you like a thriller that doesn't have to make any sense then this is a must see. If, however, you prefer more truth than fiction, you might want to skip this one.
