Résumés(1)
London 1893 is home to a killer with a macabre nickname... and also to a visionary genius who would write "The Time Machine." But what if H.G. Wells' invention wasn't fiction? And what if Jack the Ripper escaped capture fleeing his own time to take refuge in ours - with Wells himself in pursuit? (texte officiel du distributeur)

Critiques (2)
H. G. Wells pursues Jack the Ripper through time and space. Seems like a great theme, and the cast... But however good it looks on paper, in practice it is terribly dull. It falls into trivial romantic cooing that isn’t worth wasting a good theme on, because that could happen without any time travel, Wells or the Ripper; but here all of that is somehow sidelined.

Malcolm McDowell is a great actor, and he shows beautifully in this film that he can play likable characters that have depth. There's still something peculiar about him, which is inherent to the plot. He certainly has charm, like the entire film, which is a thriller, but so pleasantly lightened and romantic that it works on all levels - the dramatic, bloody, comedic, and romantic alike.
