Mona Lisa... The Lady with the mystic smile...
It's always a mustache with Bob Hoskins. This movie proves it once again. He always fulfills his role with fire and that has an infectious effect on the film viewer. George is almost unforgettable. An ex-con who becomes morally on the right track even though he continues to work for his former criminal pals as a driver for a luxury whore, the title's Mona Lisa. Her intoxicating charm and the somewhat clumsy George make a strange pair on screen, but the combination between these two characters is just right... especially when the film ends you understand it better. I don't think this movie is outdated at all. Approved!

Good movie in which a man who just got out of jail becomes a call girl's driver. A reasonably moody crime drama in which the entire sex world in which the film takes place is well portrayed. The same also applies to the characters who, thanks to the excellent acting, come out well.

Pleasantly surprised.
Especially because of the direction in which the film developed. In the beginning of the movie it looks like a standard crime movie. What follows is a charming film in which Hoskins shows his best side. The interaction with Tyson as Simone works very well. The chemistry splashes off the screen. Because of the beautiful relationship, the touching and funny moments, the essence of the film comes across even better. Because at its core, this is a very raw film about a world we would rather close our eyes to. The music with "Mona Lisa" by Nat King Cole on repeat is also very nice and fits the atmosphere of the film.
