Review of Mona Lisa (1986) by Stephen E — 18 Jan 2012
"Mona Lisa" is one of the classiest noirs out there. It starts out slow and takes a little while to gather steam, but eventually, it does and you'll find yourself deeply involved. Bob Hoskins gives a delightful performance as George, often exploding in fits of anger.
He's a puzzle of an actor to me. I'm not sure how to categorize him, for he doesn't quite have the look of an actor that should be in these kinds of roles, yet he can play them so perfectly.
I liked "Mona Lisa" more and more as the film progressed (especially the ending) and I greatly look forward to what else Neil Jordan has to offer.
