From Hell

It's fine. I don't have a lot to say on this, because From Hell simply doesn't inspire it. The most notable thing about it is using a widely debunked tinfoil-hat theory about the Jack The Ripper murders being a royal family/Masonic Lodge conspiracy, and going to great lengths to show some tightly held secrets of the Lodge right on the screen. Beyond that, it's a detective murder mystery where the good guy is fighting a corrupt system that goes all the way to the top, he falls in love with a woman who is in danger from the killer, his boss is obstructive, yadda yadda yadda. It's not boring, it's not done poorly (except Heather Graham's acting, but she just has a low ceiling), it looks nice, and it is surprisingly gory. But it also has a been-there-done-that feeling to it that the setting and situation can't hide. You'll watch it, you'll be okay with it when it's on, and you'll likely never give it a second thought, and that's fine. Not every movie needs to leave a mark. You remember that one fine meal you had that one time, but you don't remember every Snickers bar you've had, and yet you keep eating Snickers bars. This movie is a Snickers bar.
