CGiii Comment

Hoskins and Caine do what they do best.

A fine film with too many flaws to make it special. For example, the scenes with 'May' are utterly terrible - in terms of both writing and acting.

Some merciless cutting would have raised this onto a platform that few British films reach.

Still, it is worthy of an audience.

The(ir) Blurb...

George, after getting out of prison, begins looking for a job, but his time in prison has reduced his stature in the criminal underworld. The only job he can find is to be a driver for Simone, a beautiful high-priced call girl, with whom he forms an at first grudging, and then real affection. Only Simone's playing a dangerous game, and when George agrees to help her, they both end up in a huge amount of trouble with Mortwell, the local kingpin.
