5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, 21 Dec 2000
By sarlic@aol.com (Wilmington, Delaware, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jack The Ripper [VHS] [1988] (VHS Tape)
This movie is my favorite movie of all time! I spent years searching for it, and now it has FINALLY been released on Video and DVD!! (Now I just need NTSC Versions!)

Michael Caine and Lewis Collins depict the characters of Abberline and Godley exactly as I picture them after reading Ripper history. While some aspects of the film are historically inaccurate, this movie is mind-gripping! This is not a movie that you can view once only! Fabulous performances by Armand Assante and Jane Seymore only add to this wonderful achievement of director David Wickes.

DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely outstanding, 7 Sep 2003
This review is from: Jack The Ripper [VHS] [1988] (VHS Tape)
Like a couple of other people have declared, this is my favourite film of all time. I am very keen on the Jack The Ripper case and this film is everything you could hope for.

The story-line is convincing. The final deduction - true ? - Maybe, maybe not, but very possible.

The acting is absolutely superb, particularly Michael Caine and Lewis Collins.

Often if you watch or read something about Jack The Ripper, either it is totally unrealistic or a lot of the important facts are wrong. Not this time.

Not only is the film accurate, it is also very entertaining.

It's been fifteen years since I first saw this film and I never tire of watching it again and again and again.

Absolutely superb !!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Michael Caine's, The Ripper!, 4 Jan 2002
After watching this version of the Ripper story on T.V some years ago, I was hopping it would arrive on DVD!(It has). Superbly shoot in the dark, Victorian London streets. This Tv movie will make you think twice about walking the night time streets of East London alone. Micheal Caine and lewis Collins put in one of there best performances as Inspector Aberline and his sargent. A must see for any ripper fan. Watch out for the twist at the end!!
