Editorial Reviews

Small-time crook Mickey Rourke is mockingly named Johnny Handsome because of his grotesquely deformed face. While in stir on a robbery rap, Rourke is knifed by convicts in the employ of his former partner--and now bitter enemy--Lance Henriksen. While in the prison hospital, Rourke is cared for by a kindly doctor (Forrest Whitaker), who believes that the key to Rourke's rehabilitation might be a literal change of face. Undergoing plastic surgery, Rourke emerges as virtually unrecognizable to everyone but the audience. Paroled, Rourke seems to be willing to follow a straight and narrow path. Seems to be. Only Morgan Freeman, playing a hard-bitten law officer, sees through Rourke's "new leaf." Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

May 23, 2007: This was one of the more underrated films of the eighties. Good performances from an all star cast combined with the directing of the excellent Walter Hill.

November 03, 2002: Walter Hill pulls off a nice homage to B film noir. There is an enjoyable trashy look to this work, fueled by Ry Cooder's sax laden soundtrack. The performance are good, with Ellen Barkin in full slut mode being the most enjoyable. You're none the worse for wasting an afternoon with this one.
