Watch The Limehouse Golem For Free

To me, this movie is perfection.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Called the ending within the first 15 minutes.Overall it was decent enough, however if you watch murder mysteries any bit normally than you will easily be able to guess the killer from very early on in the movie. Acting was good.

THE LIMEHOUSE GOLEM is a Victorian murder mystery based on the novel of the same title by respected British historian Peter Ackroyd. The screenplay was by Jane Goldman, who has recently made quite a career for herself with such diverse pictures as KICK-ASS and KINGSMAN, although it does feel like she's bitten off more than she can chew this time around. The film is advertised as a gruesome detective story in which Bill Nighy (in a role intended for the late Alan Rickman) locks horns with the creature of Jewish myth, but instead it turns out to be some convoluted character story involving street theatres and a woman on trial for poisoning her employer. I was hoping for something like FROM HELL, but this non-supernatural story turns out to be a real bore; it cheats the viewer constantly with fake flashbacks building to an impossible twist ending, and most of the dialogue is lumpy exposition. Nighy has little to do here, and established performers like Eddie Marsan and Nicholas Woodeson even less. I wasn't particularly convinced by Olivia Cooke in her role, and there's too much tawdry social stuff instead of the rollicking, gruesome fun you want to see. It doesn't help that the inexperienced director manages to create a film as bland-looking as they come. Even TV's RIPPER STREET is better than this.

A series of murders has shaken the community to the point where people believe that only a legendary creature from dark times - the mythical so-called Golem - must be responsible. Despite it's talented cast and good perfomances 'The Limehouse Golem' is a detective thriller that is more slow paced than it should be to the point where i got bored from the whole film and the narrative at times was a bit messy. The overall cinematography tho and the settings were really good but the film's story takes alot of time to be unfold and the ending was also disappointing. (5/10)

I am apparently too stupid to understand the final final plot twist - does anyone? After Lizzie has gone to the gallows and Inspector Kildare has received his well deserved promotion, Dan Leno puts on a show based on Lizzie's life, starting with her hanging. In this show her character is played by her erstwhile nemesis and sometimes maid/substitute in her husband's bed, Aveline. The stage gallows, previously shown to be harmless to whoever gets "hanged", malfunctions and Aveline is killed. Dan then says he'll play Lizzie and puts on a Lizzie wig. In the next shot, however, it is Lizzie herself, not Dan, who's on the stage taking in the audience's applause and adulation. So - are we to conclude that she somehow escaped from prison, manipulated the stage gallows to kill Aveline and take over her role? Or is this just a fantasy? (If so, whose?) I am confused.
