Mona Lisa
1986 · TMDB 6.9
Directed by Neil Jordan
George is a small-time crook just out of prison who discovers his tough-guy image is out of date. Reduced to working as a minder/driver for high class call girl Simone, he has to agree when she asks him to find a young colleague from her King's Cross days. That's when George's troubles just start.
Why it matters
Bob Hoskins is George, an ex-con who becomes a chauffeur for a high-class call girl, Simone (Cathy Tyson), and descends into a dark underworld of obsession and violence. Directed by Neil Jordan.
