Fierce but familiar

Mona Lisa (1986)

Directed by Neil Jordan this film stars Bob Hoskins, Cathy Tyson, Robbie Coltrane and Michael Caine. Just out of prison a working class criminal is hired to work as a driver for a high class call girl.

Nothing much is original in the plot of this crime drama but the antagonistic relationship between the two main characters is at least initially interesting. The film does a good job of showing off the seeder side of London if not being especially deep about it. At the time Bob Hoskins got a lot of praise for his performance in this film but at times his performance is more quantity rather than quality in my opinion.


3/5
