Ex-con George, expecting to be repaid after taking a fall for his crime boss, is reduced to driving classy call girl Simone to her jobs at London's finer hotels. Despite their differences (he's a poorly-educated, unattractive, and unsophisticated bigot; she's a beautiful, elegant, and intelligent black woman), George falls in love with her and agrees to help locate one of her old friends, a junkie still working the streets for a dangerously violent pimp.

Criminal Bob Hoskins drives a posh hooker around London who (like him) works for the ultra-slimy Michael Caine and has a sort of unresolved, slowly surfacing past. The film shuffles along just like George's sedan (he also hits the accelerator in a similar way at times) and takes him an hour and three quarters to say what he wanted to say. Unfortunately, I think he could have said a lot more - the script, especially in the last third, is a bit bland and confused. It does, however, lead to a fairly logical conclusion, for which I thank the filmmakers. The actors are great in Mona Lisa, and Kamen's music and the cinematography are also great... But it's no match for its older American cousin, Scorsese's Taxi Driver.
