You'll have to listen hard to catch all the dialogue in this dark, romantic film by director Neil Jordan. The Cockney accents are thick enough to spread on a crumpet. But it's worth the effort to plunge into the London underworld with tough but lovable thug Bob Hoskins. Just out of prison, he's given a job by his old boss (Michael Caine) as chauffeur to a gorgeous but chilly call girl (Cathy Tyson). For all his criminal experience, this guy is surprisingly innocent; when he develops a crush on the woman he's driving, it leads inevitably to tragedy. Hoskins is heartbreakingly good as this poor, thick sod, while Caine projects an oily malevolence. Tyson is also fine as a woman who has secrets of her own. --Marshall Fine

I tried to watch this film twice. I gave up early the first time because I couldn't understand a lot of the dialogue. The Cockney accents did me in. Most of the time the girl spoke is a very low voice and I missed most of what she said.
However it looked so good that I tried again the next evening and got through almost half of it. I could tell that the acting was first rate and I wanted to stick it out. When George, the hero went to sleeze joints and houses of prostitution to find ... Read More

This was my first exposure to Bob Hoskins- and I've been a fan ever since!And it was quite a change to see Michael Caine as a truly nasty guy! Acting is superb, and plot is refreshing. Music was very good too.
