Watched it the other night for the first time in about 10 years and it was just as good as I remembered. Michael Caine is excellent as Abberline as he works his way through a large list of suspects and red herrings to come to a somewhat plausible, if not original conclusion. Based on the performances and atmosphere, I still think this remains as good a Ripper movie as they've ever done. "From Hell" was more flashy, and was still good, but this is your classic "whodunit" involving Jack the Ripper.
The made to order DVD was also excellent and it a very good way to get more obscure movies into the hands of fans who have waited indefinitely to see them released mass market.
