3. From Hell - Heather Graham
Everyone loves a fresh interpretation of serial killer Jack the Ripper, who went on one of the world's most famous unsolved murder sprees. It's not Johnny Depp's best work, but the premise is sound and for the most part the idea has real potential. He plays the drug-addicted inspector gamely enough, and Ian Holm turns in a panto performance that oddly works with the sinister Victorian atmosphere. The film falls apart, however, with Heather Graham's performance as a Whitechapel prostitute in danger of becoming Jack's next victim. This involves a misguided attempt at a Cockney (or possibly Irish) accent and acting skills that are not up to the level one would expect from an actress starring in a high-profile Hollywood film. She's not even convincing as a redhead.
