Pros: Familiar storyline, told with scary characters.
Cons: Slow to develop, lot's of gore, blood.
The Bottom Line: There are many other movies coming out, so save your money and see something else. "From Hell" is just not prime quality stuff.

| pbernard's Full Review: From Hell |
|
Plot Details: This opinion reveals minor details about the movie's plot.
Saw this on opening night, expecting a good, scary movie about the serial killings in London. We got a movie about a drug-using detective on the trial of an elusive mad man. The movie was almost always set at night, which is when "Jack the Ripper" supposedly struck. I found the movie to drag in many spots. The photography was very well done, but the plot needed to be electrified with a better script. Johnny Depp is a convincing cop, one has to wonder why he falls for the prostitute he is trying to save. She brings nothing to the table. All in all, I enjoyed the movie, but I think most should wait for it to come out on video.
