What they share

Both films are directed by Neil Jordan, and they both carry the raw mood tag, and they sit in Crime / Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Brave One, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Mona Lisa is

London's criminal underbelly. Rain slicked streets. A ringing telephone. Fresh from prison, George finds work as a driver for Simone, a call girl searching for a lost friend. His simmering rage meets her cool detachment as they descend into the city's hidden world. A grim fairy-tale from a director of sensual nightmares.
