Summary: An introspection of London's dark side
Review: Mona Lisa is an atmospheric , bitter and at the same time romantic film which grows on you as time goes by . Jordan displays London's underground society in a dark yet strangely tangible way . Hints and secrets are being constantly unfolded here with a sharp sensitivity . Life has let down our heroes . They rarely smile , even less often relax and enjoy themselfs . Their worries don't let them do so . There's a bizzare chemistry between Hoskins and the extremelly underrated Tyson which is undeniably affecting while Caine is also perfect as the pimp whose demands never seem to end .

Summary: Jordan at his best, Hoskins at his second best
Review: This is Neil Jordan's best film and Hoskins' second best performance after Long Good Friday. The transfer is well up to Criterion standards and the extras illuminating. However, there aappears to be a problem with the sound editing of the DVD: picture and sound aren't precisely synchronized in either of the two copies I've attempted to buy (I've kept neither) -- which renders the experience of watching the DVD more frustrating than it should be. Have others had this problem with their copies?

Summary: another Bob Hoskins classic
Review: This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film.In this movie, Bob Hoskins plays the role of George, a man recently released from prison who takes a job driving a prostitute to her customers. George has been shunned by former colleagues and his ex wife and struggles to make a living. The film has good acting and is very well photographed. Again with having first seen Bob hoskins in the film, "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and having seen that film an uncountable number of times before seeung him in other films, it is hard to see Hoskins in any other role. The film recieved an R rating in the US for violence, profanity, and brief female nudity. This DVD has been approved by director Neil Jordan and has 2 special features. There is a theatrical trailer and audio commentary by director Niel Jordan and actor Bob Hoskins which was originally recorder for the laserdisc edition in 1996
