New York Post
Gripping and stylish thriller.
80
Wall Street Journal
Ambitious, visually stunning and hugely accomplished.
67
Portland Oregonian
A tug-of-war between a bracing vision of a truly infernal crime spree -- complete with engaging whodunit storytelling -- and a sometimes clumsy period drama.
60
TV Guide Magazine
An astonishing act of synthesis, bringing together disparate Ripper theories and a fiercely idiosyncratic version of London's history, architecture, policing and social structure.
60
The New York Times
So beautifully realized as a mood piece that it takes a while for a slight disappointment to register.
50
USA Today
With almost as many subplots as corpses, the movie maintains its mild watchability only because the Ripper saga still engrosses.
40
Los Angeles Times
It is deeply unpleasant to see women abducted, tortured and eviscerated by a methodical and meticulous butcher.
40
Film Threat
Could have been a beautiful and suspenseful thriller, lukewarm performances make the film just another movie to add to one's "rent-it-when-it-comes-to-DVD" list.
