Product Description
Scotland Yard Inspector Fred Abberline, a psychic and opium addict, tracks down Jack the Ripper in 1888 London.
Amazon.com
Heavy on atmosphere and light on everything else, From Hell is visually impressive while lacking the depth of the acclaimed graphic novel it's based upon. Making their third feature since 1993's Menace II Society, twins Allen and Albert Hughes approach the Jack the Ripper case with physical precision, re-creating the gritty Whitechapel district of 1888 London in meticulous detail. What they've forgotten is the sheer terror that gripped Whitechapel in the wake of the Ripper's slaying of five prostitutes, investigated here by a Scotland Yard sleuth (Johnny Depp) who uses opium, laudanum, and absinthe to fuel his semiprescient visions of the slayings. Heather Graham attempts a slippery Cockney accent as a would-be victim, while Ian Holm steals the show as a has-been surgeon with devilish delusions of grandeur. Violence is obliquely suggested or briefly graphic, but no matter how you cut it, From Hell is only marginally thrilling as it treads familiar territory. --Jeff Shannon

 Fugettaboutit. September 5, 2010
Benjamin W. May (Blacksburg VA)
This movie got boring really quickly. I had literally no interest in the film once the production value had been established. I never had any interest in the Jack the Ripper story, and I do not know. The quote at the beginning is what struck me. It was worth seeing a dipiction of what life was like back then, though only scenery and subtleties could be considered accurate. I was disappointed. It is long too. I'd say pass on this one, even if you have never seen it.
 One of Depp's best August 22, 2010
Robert E. Feyerabend (Upstate, New York USA)
I haven't been very impressed with Johnny Depp's choice of roles in his latest movies (2009 - 2010). However, he really shines in this one. Excellent plot and good acting all around. A "must see" even if you're sick of watching "Jack The Ripper" movies.

The reviews from "Avid Movie Watcher" are all boilerplate comments pasted into many different movie reviews. This guy must be a shill for the studio. See his review for "Sleepy Hollow" and see for yourself.
 Great Condition, Poor Delivery Time March 26, 2010

Got a great deal on this brand new DVD, but even after paying extra to expedite the shipping I still didn't receive it until nearly 20 days after I placed the order. RIDICULOUS!!
Love Johnny Depp February 27, 2010
M. Harvan (TAMAQUA, PA, US)
For me, Johnny Depp can't do a "bad" movie, although this was a little boring at times. It was a different take on the story that we all know! The setting is good, but the story could have had more interest! As usual, Johnny Depp was good!
