It's difficult to ignore the fact that they have ignored the real facts., 20 August 2005
3/10
Author: Sulla-2 from United Kingdom

For somebody who knows absolutely nothing about the Whitechapel Murders, this would be a watchable film. The problem is that when you have a basic knowledge of the actual facts , it becomes very difficult to watch so many glaring errors. It is a fact that Prince Albert was in Scotland at the time of the murders and could not have done them. Could anyone imagine Prince William escaping his minders for a few hours to do a few murders. The crimes were in the wrong order. The Police Officers had the wrong names ( What on earth is a Deputy Chief Inspector ?)Even the buildings were wrong. Most of the houses were made of stone in the film, whereas WhiteChapel would be almost all brick.
