From Hell is a film based on the 5 murders of prostitutes in 1888 by Jack the Ripper, staring Johnny Depp and Heather Graham. The film is also based upon the novel written by Alan Moore. Johnny Depp plays inspector Frederick Abberline who thinks at his best when he has had a little too much opium, and Heather Graham plays the prostitute Mary Jane Kelly who has one need to try and survive. Abberline and Kelly become close during the film. The film constently keeps you intrigued and at times on the edge of your seats. Although you believe the character played by Johnny Depp could have the potential to fail miserably as an inspector it is surprising to see how well he pieces together the puzzle of the crimes especially as it appears that the clues become more apparent when he is has been using drugs which cause the hallucinations. From Hell is an eerie film with visual effects which make it unsuitable for young audiences. Johnny Depp is astounding as are the other members of the cast. A film which can be enjoyed on more than one occassion.

Nothing much there - If you liked the film, go into more detail - use that enthusiasm. You might want to check into the film's graphic novel roots while you're at it.
