Jack's Back (1988)
6/10
Twice as nice?

Warning: Spoilers
Writer/director Rowdy Herrington seems to want to say something about homelessness, but then the theme trails off.

The best reason to watch this, for most people, is that James Spader plays two roles. (Identical twins, and one of them has an earring!) It may be this film that inspired me to embark on my project of cloning Spader. No luck yet, but I will keep you posted.

Considering the title refers to Jack the Ripper, this film is surprisingly even handed when it comes to the ratio of female to male victims of violence.

There isn't much to dislike about the writing or the acting, but there isn't anything that really jumps out as outstanding.
