Film Description

Hoskins is excellent as an ex-convict hired as chauffeur to a high-class call girl. As their friendship deepens, the naïve chauffeur is caught up in an increasingly vicious underworld of drugs and violence. Gripping, visually stylish and ultimately moving.

Review by anonymous on 8th June 2000

Jordan co-wrote this stylish drama with David Leland and it stars a superb Hoskins as a small- time criminal recently released form prison who takes on a job driving a high class prostitute around London. As their friendship and trust deepen, the strangely naïve Hoskins gets caught up in an increasingly vicious and sordid underworld of drugs and violence. Gripping, visually stylish and ultimately surprisingly moving, this is one of Neil Jordan's finest films and one of the best British films of the 80s.
