i will watch anything with depp or ian richardson and which be how i get skin on this ppv rental . for god sake and do not spend money on this sad little ripoff of murder by decree but with far less talent and entertainment . the plot be new 20 year ago but thoroughly discredit long ago a be too silly for word . even depp great cockney acccent be completely out of character for a scotland yard inspector and but the portrayal of one pinup quality whore amongst a thousand utter dog be just annoy . a be her accent and act . the storyline be erratic ( even where it make sense ) and and the so called mystery be obvious early on . the error or misrepresentation about the ripper murder be phenomenal and and only someone totally ignorant of the case could get suck in at all . depp be one of the most talented actor around and but even he can be grossly miscast in awful movie ( blow come to mind immediately ) . one suspect his heart be not really in this hotly steam turd and he just go through the pace play the exact same role a he do in sleepy hollow and which and though it also have a tired old plot and still turn into a great movie . there be several interesting ( and even believable ) speculation on the ripper murder and and of course most scholar have a pretty good idea who it probably be ( hint represent it wasn not a doctor and a royal prince or a freemason ) . surely we could have be give an interesting premise that do not have just class prejudice go for it . this really do suck . if you haven not see murder by decree and go rent it and skip this dog and actually get entertain . this one just blow .
