Such a frustrating disappointment

hyped garbage

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A real pleasant surprise of a film, although it's relatovely low reviews and mixed publicity might suggest one thing reality is in fact very different. Structured in a way that resembles the work of Tarantino in the dawn of his career Limehouse follows Inspectir Kildare (Bill Nighy) on the course of a manhunt for the illusive serial killer preying upon the streets of London, over the course of the film we establish and eliminate suspects, outcomes and narratives that exist in this claustrophobic reality. Through innovative techniques the audience is left guessing whom is responsible for the slayings with every possibility seeming potentially 'real' comes a shock twist which for those who have a love for the genre might find a little predictable, aside from that however it's a tense and fun story that quickly unravels definitely worth a watch

This was a movie that reminded me a bit of from hell with johny depp and also Penny dreadful. It was solid, well executed. The problem is the the plot is obvious from the beginning. A person who has watched this type or movies, knows what to expect. I can't recall it right now, but I am sure I have seen the same plot again in another movie but without the victorian london background. Nevertheless, the movie is interesting. It has some gruesome murders but it does not show them in a way that your stomach would turn. Because if it did, it would have been a horror movie, unbearable to watch. So luckily it avoided that. The cast was good, I only have objections about Elizabeth Cree. if they could cast another actress ,the whole role concept would enter another level. She is so unbearable and antipathetic that you actually wish for her to hang from the beginning.

The story told in this movie was a little bit confusing, and at times I was sort of lost as to whom was really the killer, which I suppose was a good achievement on the writers account. But it was just a tad too confusing and wobbly for me.The acting in the movie was phenomenal, and the cast ensemble had some really impressive names with amazing performances. There were some pretty nice performances by Bill Nighy and Olivia Cooke in particular.The setting of "The Limehouse Golem" and the atmosphere was simply amazing, which really helped to bring the movie to life on the screen. They really managed to capture the atmosphere of the era quite nicely, both in costumes, speech, props and sets.The movie felt a bit too long perhaps, because the storyline was a bit too rambling for my personal preference. Plus I had no idea what the movie was about prior to sitting down to watch it, and with the word golem in the title I had expected something more in the likes of "Frankenstein".However, all in all, "The Limehouse Golem" was an entertaining movie, especially if you enjoy movies that does not present the storyline on a platter and where you have to keep an alert eye and be aware of all that is going on.

Dark brooding with great acting performances! Bill is amazing as always. Got a little bored in the middle( could have been a shorter movie), still it is engaging as ever, the ending is a bit confusing though
