 | A double crossing in a robbery will sent prison to Rourke and despite these serious wounds will disfigure all his face he will be submitted to a plastic surgeon . Once he is released he will plot the revenge for those who betrayed. This script has been told so many times but Walter Hill knew maintain the internal tension all along the film creating a dark atmosphere thanks to a notable cast and impressive violence images. Watch for Freeman and Whitaker in secondary roles. |

| I haven't seen this in ages. It was great to see it again. This was the movie that first piqued my interested in Mickey Rourke's acting ability. Man he was awesome during the 80's!!!!!!! Too bad his plastic surgery ruined his face. oh well, nothing lasts forever. Few people have had the opportunity in their lives of stardom that Rourke did for over a decade. |

| Two directors have mastered the modern film noir: Michael Mann (THIEF) and Walter Hill. Like 1978's THE DRIVER, JOHNNY HANDSOME is an underrated marvel and one of Hill's best works. Hill also provides two screen lowlifes in a class all their own, masterfully played by Lance Hendricksen and Ellen Barkin (She has the best line: "The price was a thousand. Either that or I gave it away.") You also get Mickey Rourke tearing the landscape front and back along with the always great Morgan Freeman. Ry Cooder's sax laden soundtrack shines. |
