i guess be from england and have be read about jack the ripper for 12 year from book to movie i finally saw the right movie here in denmark a few year ago where everything seem to make sense and it be the mini series with michael caine . so my friend and i have to choose between shallow hal and from hell . we figure from hell would be good since we all be familiar with the story so there wouldn not be any surprise . 27 minute of the movie and we be in total suspense and something happen and they have to restart the movie once again . so again we sit back and wait for that moment to come again and we figure wow if it be so interesting for the first ½ hour it would no doubt be even well later on . we be wrong . the entire movie suddenly fell out of place and enter a whole other dimension where fact and fiction have to be divide and after divide it the whole movie become fiction . if they have to base a film on something like that they shouldn not have make a jack the ripper film it be almost an insult to what michael caine have preform so perfectly a abberline . johnny depp accent couldn not be anymore silly than it be even though i would give him a little happy by say nice try there . the real inspector abberline be in his late 40 and do johnny even look past 30. this movie will get a negative and only because the whole setting be terrific and even the special effect with the knife and good . other than that do not bother it unless you have some extra cash in your pocket and nothing else to do .
