Johnny Handsome

“They changed his looks, his life and his future... but they couldn't change his past .”

In New Orleans, John Sedley (Mickey Rourke) has gone through life with a face so deformed that people look away, and he has turned to crime as a result. A surgeon, Dr. Fisher (Forest Whitaker), gives him a new one, and the prison parole board sets him free. Walter Hill films the city and the nights in a hard, quiet style, with Ry Cooder's guitar underneath.
