Mona Lisa (DVD)

Mona Lisa (1986) starring Bob Hoskins, Cathy Tyson, Michael Caine, Robbie Coltraine. Directed by Neil Jordan. Hoskins plays a small-time hood named George who is given the job of driver for a high-priced call girl (Tyson); but his time in prison has left him out of touch with the outside world, and he's naive about the depths of depravity that have been reached by his former chums (including Caine). It's definitely adult entertainment. The various English accents, especially Hoskins', are hard to understand -- which makes the subtitles for the hearing-impaired indispensable. Grade: B+
