1.25 STARS: A decent "whodunnit" flick drowns in its own ambition and new age conformity.
|
"Ripper" might have been a decent "whodunnit" slasher flick, but it is just too far-fetched and over the top. There are no likeable characters whatsoever. There is some mystery to it all, but the plot tries to be too cute and too clever and the result is a convoluted mess of a movie that is too far-fetched and trendy for its own good. I would say that "Ripper" is a lot like "Urban Legend" (really kind of rips this one off and not quite as good) and even "Murder 101", although there are too many stupid and unrealistic ideas and scenes in this movie...some of it is just ridiculous. Also, did I mention that these characters suck? Also, I got really tired of the "new age" element in this movie. Overall, this movie had some potential believe it or not, but it's a very frustrating viewing experience. The acting was okay overall, the kills were not very impressive either. Plot execution was poor for the most part because they tried to do too much with it...they should have kept it simple. Finally, the ending was horrible and just plain stupid. In short, it is the mystery and suspense with the "whodunnit" theme that carries this "Ripper" as far as its merit is concerned, but that's just not enough to save this miserable mess of a movie that is totally devoid of scares and atmosphere. 1.25 STARS for the mystery, but that's about it.
