Capturing seamy settings on the fringe of the London underworld, Jordan examines the relationship between a small time hood just released from prison and a call girl he's hired to protect. Bob Hoskins is simply terrific as the no-nonsense hood George. Cathy Tyson is illusive as the prostitute Simone and Michael Caine has some nice moments as George's boss. The transfer of this atmospheric movie is solid, but the dark textures of Jordan's vision are not easy to replicate. The disc could have had a bit more gloss to highlight the grunge of George's world.
Colors are good and the image is sharp and clean.
The big bonus is an audio commentary from Neil Jordan. There's no question that Jordan loves this movie, which adds to the pleasure of his commentary.
