"From Hell", so, from that time seems to come to the movie. In my opinion, the gloomy abyss of London, the cynicism of the higher English society and the misanthropy of the British monarchy were never disclosed so relentlessly. The film is horror film study and society at the same time (to underline the authenticity, even is the case of the "elephant man" touched cleverly). In dark images of strip depicts the misery on the streets Whitechapel where drawn from life women the horizontal Commercial descendants (that pretty Heather Graham somehow does not want to fit in, is the downside of the film). Street gangs and pimps make them to create. But not enough: in the highest circles of the threads are spun an incredible conspiracy, whose protagonists are so unsophisticated as evil. Jack The Ripper, represented as gutgekleidetes, faceless monster with dark, terrifying voice, begins his bloody trade. His mission: to witness a highly politically controversial process must be eliminated. Johnny Depp (Abberline) and Robbie Coltrane (Godley) shine as unequal Polizistenduo which is the chaser on his heels. Great are the drug addict visions Abberline who hopes to get the killer to track down. Slowly but surely they get behind the conspiracy that has been hatched at Buckingham Palace. Has instigated the matter of the Order of Freemasons. As is the Ripper unmasked, it turns out that while he is a loyal servant of the crown, but has now totally lost his mind about his actions. He considers himself now even as a tool of history, as "energy and determination" and triumphed: "One day humanity will look back and say that I have initiated the 20th century!" The scene in which Depp is the killer, is of unique intensity and force. But all is in vain: at the end wins the raison d'etat. After he has fulfilled his task, the Ripper of the Freemasons is even withdrawn from circulation. His identity never made public, the affair is settled herewith. The British royal family is determined "not amused" about the way it is shown here. But no matter. Credible solution is always when it is also determined doubted by many. People may therefore no conspiracy, because they can not bear the feeling of helplessness-being. Exactly this feeling produced "From Hell". What are human lives, if the government is in danger? In a brilliant scene of panic filled Killer accomplice Netley the Ripper, where if they were asked. And the Ripper says: "In hell, Netley, we are in hell!" Just as we are. This film shows it once again.
