Indeed, but having "pretty-boy" Depp as a 40-something, paunchy detective would be a bit like casting Macaulay Culkin as Benjamin Franklin.Originally posted by Abby Normal View PostI guess Heather Graham was miscast as mary Kelly too. yeesh cmon guys this was a very unhistorical mash up of a grahic novel based on the royal conspiracy! lol. much artistic liscense was taken!!

Yes, I watched it. Somewhat different from the book, but kept close to the mood and general atmosphere of 1890s New York. (They shot in Eastern Europe, I believe). Plot doesn't vary too much, though the Catholic Church's involvement was toned down, I think. Teddy Roosevelt was present, also the young lady who assisted the police, the two Jewish brothers, and some nasty bruiser types. I recommend it if you liked the novel. I was able to enjoy it as a period thriller, even knowing the solution, and the cast was good.Originally posted by Herlock Sholmes View PostBy the way, has anyone seen the adaptation of The Alienist? Great book but any good on screen?Pat D. https://forum.casebook.org/core/imag...rt/reading.gif
