George (Bob Hoskins) is small time crook who has spent 10 years of his life in prison. He almost immediately goes back to is old habit, but this time George really wants to be a better person.
But things have changed since last time and so has the people he once trusted and worked for. His old boss Mortwell (Michael Caine) gives George a job as the chauffeur to the beautiful Simone (Cathy Tyson) a luxurious prostitute.
To begin with the two of them fight each other like cats and dogs, but when an unlikely friendship starts to blossom things is about to get dangerous in the dark streets of London.Bob Hoskins is brilliant as the explosive but gentle George, while Michael Cain's role as Mortwell is one his most evil roles on screen. The film feels a bit like Taxi Driver. Its gritty and has a very dark atmosphere along with a soothing jazz/big band dominated soundtrack.
