Where do I start? A thriller based on facts. Based on the story of the famous Jack The Ripper. A detective story that is slowly unraveled by the beautiful and genius Inspector Abberline (Johnny Depp), with a helping hand from Mary Kelly (Heather Graham) and Sergent Godley (Robbie Coltrane). This film shows the terror that walked the streets in London in 1888 that chills you to the bone. Like many I have read the stories and researched his killings, as there is still a quest to find the true Jack the RIpper. There is also many conspiracies to whom Jack the Ripper was including whether the Prince was involved, and these conspiracies are explored in the film. You also see the special gift that Johnny Depp was blessed with as he ventures to find the answers to the murders. This film also contains a some romantic qualities when the detective (Johnny Depp) falls in love. I would fully recommend this film to anyone who is a true crime junkie.

I see you've posted this as a DVD review, but you've not mentioned the DVD features. Are there any extras? If so, what are they and are they any good? If you add to this, or if you change it to be posted as a "Film Only" review, which can be done by accessing "edit review" above the review and changing the drop down menu under the "Which format are you reviewing?" question at the bottom, please let me know and I'll re-rate.
