There's still a great deal of satisfaction to be had in both the resolution of the plot's many mysteries and the thematic throughlines of the three films.

Rated: 4/4

Stands as a wrenching tale of power abused and lives discarded. It is powerful stuff.

Rated: B+

Anand Tucker's direction and Tony Grisoni's screenplay aren't perfect but is yet another work that stands relatively well on its own but is made infinitely better when viewed in the light of the first two films.

Deep Focus Review

An extremely satisfying conclusion to a monumental series of films that in sum will reward audiences willing to confront the otherwise harsh, unforgiving material.

Rated: 3.5/4

From the Front Row

Beautifully filmed, and is more satisfying in its connection to the first film, providing much needed closure to a series marked by its stubborn refusal to offer any such comforting affectations.

Rated: 3/4

This series kind of disappointed me but the ending was good, I'd have to give it that. I didn't like the atmosphere and how terrifying the Yorkshire Ripper is wasn't portrayed enough, it was more psychological.

Excellent acting and a another well conceived narrative which skillfully brought back elements from it's two predecessors, tying this trilogy together with an extremely satisfying conclusion.

The concluding entry in the trilogy with a somewhat satisfying ending that still leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

The conclusion was deeply disturbing, and the ending doesn't really have much to do with the Yorkshire Ripper as a conspiracy and cover-up. Well made, but too disturbing to recommend or rewatch.
