I hate to leave negative reviews and will only do so rarely. However, I could almost stomach the minimal scenery and wooden acting if this was more factually correct. It implies the victims were all killed within a few nights, this was not the case! In fact these murders took place over many weeks. Some claim there were more than 5 victims but if we assume Mary Kelly was the final victim she was not killed within the secure walls of a brothel but in her own room just by the Spitalfields market. This was many weeks after the first "recognised" murder. I love watching the different movies with different interpretations of who was "jack" but this is quite poor. The Johnny Depp version was passable but my favourite is the miniseries with Michael Caine as the inspector.

This film reminded me of one these drama-documentaries that you see on television. The action scenes are of broadly the same quality - in both style and acting - as the dramatised inserts you would see there. Indeed, the whole thing just looked someone had stitched together the inserts and tried to make a movie from them. It's a well trammelled story, but this iteration offers us nothing new by way of an investigation or approach - in fact I cannot actually imagine whom this has been made for. This version is dull, and extremely dialogue heavy with those acting here having little skill at creating let alone maintaining any sense of peril or menace. The score is marginally better at that task, but the ending - though a little bit quirky, is pretty daft. This is poor, nothing more to be said...

Script isn't great. Acting is passable. Sets are minimalistic. Predictable. Nothing spectacular but looked as there was some heart put into the project.
