Sinopsis(1)
Mientras Jack el Destripador gobernó las calles de Londres, reinó el terror. Su salvajismo era fruto de un trastorno mental, pero su diabólica precisión apuntaba a que había un método tras su locura. Johnny Depp y Heather Graham protagonizan esta "absorbente y elegante película de misterio". En el Londres de 1888, los desafortunados pobres llevan vidas horribles en los barrios bajos de la ciudad. Acosadas por diversas bandas y forzadas a recorrer las calles para ganarse la vida. Mary Kelly y su pequeño grupo de acompañantes son presas del pavor cuando una de sus amigas es secuestrada y otra del grupo es asesinada de manera horripilante. (20th Century Fox España)

La atmósfera del viejo Londres es sobrecogedora gracias al diseño de producción estupendo y Johnny Depp está genial como siempre, pero los visuales modernos de videoclip musical de los hermanos Hughes dirigiendo no encajan para nada con la atmósfera nostálgica de la película.

The Hughes brothers try to compensate for their narrative ineptitude with fast editing in tense scenes, and to achieve a gruesome effect, they spare no glimpse of dismembered bodies and splashes of blood. Johnny Depp is very bland, he must have been bored during the filming. The highlight of it all is the artificially grafted love story between the inspector and the prostitute played by Heather Graham. What comes out of it, it’s not worth commenting on. I just don't buy it, guys.

As an adaptation of the great work of Alan Moore, it is very bad. On its own, however, it’s a pretty solid film, it’s a pity that Murder by Decree is the same, but much, much better.

Jack The Ripper grabbed me by the hand, led me into the first dark narrow alleyway, and left me at the mercy of Victorian London. This is how the atmosphere is created. The feeling that I am in some infamous district and that something very unpleasant is about to happen to me at any moment was so unpleasantly vivid that I was actually looking forward to the picture clearing up a bit in a moment. The whole story is excellently crafted, but it has one fundamental flaw. Its main character is not the detective Abberline, but Mary. And that, of course, brings a lot of tiresome and desperately uninteresting studies of "the life of prostitutes". However, the atmosphere commands me very decisively to rate it higher.

Unfortunately, I am disappointed, although thanks to the generous budget and the resulting set design, there is still something to see here. Given the choice of exteriors, lighting, and music motifs, there can still be talk of a mysterious atmosphere, but anyone who knows the comic book source material must necessarily be disappointed. Due to shortcomings in the script, problematic portrayal of some characters, and mediocre direction, only an average film was created, which originally had greater ambitions. Although Johnny Depp is an excellent actor, this time he had a weaker moment, and even his presence could not mask the failure of the overall concept of the film. There is no need to elaborate further, as my arguments would only repeat the criticisms of others. Overall impression 50%.

Maybe slightly above-average, but definitely not madness. The Hughes brothers attempt to create some kind of dream world and partly succeed, because London is more than high-quality in terms of form (production design, cinematography, costumes). Unfortunately, it is quite simple in terms of the screenplay, even the character of Jack the Ripper (without knowing who he is) could have had more nuances. Instead, we only see a few seconds of knife action, blood and mutilated bodies, and when the story finally starts to unfold, it does so quite uneventfully. Johnny Depp surprisingly doesn't deliver much, he can act much better. And those quick cuts and hallucinations really don't suit old England.

The story of the most famous serial killer of the 19th century is a fundamentally compelling subject, and the Hughes brothers have managed to bring this "legend" to life in their own distinctive way, which I personally, as a viewer, really enjoyed and met my expectations in many ways. The settings of the gloomy and dirty London streets added even more suspense to the story and, combined with the eerie music and some gory effects, this is an above average horror film. Alongside this there is a superbly chosen cast: Johnny Depp is perfect as the opiate addict, Heather Graham is very nice to look at (plus the red hair), Robbie Coltrane is just good old Hagrid only without the beard and Ian Holm was more than convincing. Even though I knew in advance who the killer was because I'd seen Jack the Ripper before, I was still pleasantly surprised, mostly because of the ending.

A nicely and cleverly written whodunit whose biggest fault is the bland TV production design and some clunkers, such as the main characters' incomprehensibly presentable appearance in relation to their surroundings, etc.

I'd like to say it's a great movie, but it's just not. I have to assume that this is a film based on the comic - a comic that is simply great. Alan Moore is a literary genius, and together with Eddie Campbell, he created something in comics that has no equal. The film that was created based on the source material is quite dark and has interesting characters, but it simply denied the depth of the comic book novel.
