The atmosphere in 'From Hell' creates this stomach turning, graphic and this gothic universe where the Ripper lives, and that's why it gave this movie a unique look and feel to it. Johnny Depp once again brings a solid performance in this movie and the overall film is a decent watch.

But the biggest problem is that it's all so half-baked...all of the characters are superficially realized cliches and the mysticism angle that seemed so interesting, particularly Depp's drug-fuelled "visions", is completely irrelevant. The plot will probably be interesting to those not familiar with the whole Ripper conspiracy theory, but …
