Very Good Hughes Brothers Film

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2020)

I like this film. Although it is not based in fact, it follows the Jack the Ripper cases as it's primary theme. Although never completely solved, in more recent times, it was narrowed down to 4 suspects. The most likely (to my knowledge) is man who moved from London to New York City. The dates fit the records of this person's passage by ship to New York City. Moreover, this man killed at least 2 more women, and was subsequently executed in New York State. This is still a very good adaptation. The casting is very good. There are some flaws in "over the top" responses. These range from the Chief of Police, numerous doctors, and the average man on the street. In closing, I like the Hughes Brothers a lot. They have made several excellent films. Although not their best work, I include this one as a must see.
