Do we finally know who the Ripper is?

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2002)

The most striking point of the film, in the sense of its historical importance, is that we are actually getting the definitive answer who Jack the Ripper is. Since the plot and the script were based on the book that I haven't read, I'm not sure what the attempt of the movie was, regarding this point. Nevertheless, as a classical dark whodunnit thriller, this is definitely a must-see movie. For those who like this type of movies, of course.
Heather Graham is a little bit too sophisticated for an East Side ho, but life can be tough sometimes. She gives the movie an incredible balance in the sense that the movie's darkness is absolutely tolerable and appealing. Johnny Depp is definitely one great actor, although I'm not so sure about his English accent. I don't anticipate any Oscars for this movie (maybe adapted scenario?), but this is not how you really want to weigh a movie...
So, definitely the movie worth watching with the great plot and very peculiar ending.
