Nicholas Meyer directed this excellent film about Jack The Ripper escaping into the future in a time machine built by writer H. G. Wells. Wells must then follow him thru time as he is convinced he has set a killer loose in Utopia.
What Wells finds is a very violent society in the USA in 1979, far from the Utopia he envisioned in 1883. David Warner is Jack, and he actually find the modern world of violence much to his liking as he continues to kill women in San Francisco. Malcolm McDowell is a perfect Wells and he and Warner play off each other very well.
Mary Steenburgen is wonderful as Amy, the banker who falls in love with Wells. Fantasy movies don't get much better than this and if you haven't seen this then you should. A top notch cast, great acting and a minimal of special effects and gore. Highly Recommended!!
