Johhny Depp stars as a opium addicted police officer in victorian england, hes called in to investigate the murders of some prostitues in englandbuythe infamous Jack the ripper,complications begin when he quickly falls for one of the prostitutes who is fearing for her life and he begins to feel responsible for her and her friends,unaware of what he is becoming envolved in he seeks the advice of a medical doctor who is already involved in this dark sinister plot.
This film is a quality movie ,its very dark and gives a good atmosphere to the film,its attention to detail is remarkable and although the plot is rather fictional the actual set and costumes are very well done,its quite a eerie movie able to keep the suspense dangaling and it is very brutal some times but the story is brilliant and compelling to watch and when its all wrapped up together you have a very good movie that is often overlooked,i highly recomend this film i thourghly enjoyed it and would watch it over and over again

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.
