Customer Reviews of Ripper
written well This movie is pretty good. They have their own idea of who the Rippper is so they really stay on this one person. One of the best movies about Jack the Ripper
Rippin' Good: Janet Meyers' The Ripper
Robert Rodat, the scribe behind "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Patriot," cut his teeth on this made for television film that surprises the viewer with its excellent performances.
Patrick Bergin is the London inspector investigating Jack the Ripper. The film makers show us early the killer is Prince Eddy, Queen Victoria's grandson and heir to the throne. Samuel West does an incredible job as the prince, a bitter syphillitic who is taking revenge on the prostitutes who probably gave him the disease. Gabrielle Anwar is also very natural as the prostitute who sees the prince, and finds protection in the arms of Bergin. Michael York rounds out the cast as Bergin's superior.
While the historical accuracy of all of this could be questioned, the cast does a great job with the sometimes stiff material. Meyers' direction is also good, not crossing into exploitation but not boring us with Merchant/Ivory type dialogue. The set is also good, as the credits read this was filmed in Australia.
"The Ripper" is a good detective yarn that would definitely appeal to fans of British murder mysteries and suspense fans alike. I do recommend it.
This is rated (R) for physical violence, mild gun violence, gore, sexual content, sexual references, and adult situations.
A great period movie with love and blood.
This is one of my favorite sleepers. Not only is it a great Victorian period movie, it is also a crime thriller. For the more romantic at heart it includes two love stories; one unfulfilled and the other with broken trust. Worthy of at least a few viewings. Also, Anwar is great as an English rag doll with looks and brains. Buy it.
