Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution

A somewhat interesting documentary that provides detailed coverage of a single Ripper theory. While the intro seems to promise a deliriously, paranoia filled examination of how the Ripper this quickly slows down. The documentary hinges entirely around Stephen Knight's rather bland screen presence. While Knight does a good job of enumerating the facts of the case as well as offering a pretty over top conspiracy theory, it can't save this documentary from over staying it's welcome during it's 40 minute run time. Some notable aspects are it's focus on Masonic connections, depictions of the victims, and how the theory gradually becomes focused on a far reaching conspiracy that reaches up to the highest office of British power. I suppose if you are already a huge Ripper fan you might find this film to be noteworthy but I think you could probably find something better.
