Johnny Handsome 09/26 Blu-ray (Rental)

Film icon Mickey Rourke (Year of the Dragon) is John Sedley, a petty gangster whose facial deformities earned him the nickname “Johnny Handsome.” When Johnny and a friend are double-crossed during a robbery by two partners, his friend is killed and Johnny is sent to prison. There, a sympathetic surgeon makes a deal to give Johnny a new face - and a new shot at life. Once on the outside, Johnny discovers that staying straight isn’t easy. But his new look does open one door for Johnny - revenge. An electrifying tale from the great Walter Hill, director of The Driver, The Long Riders and Extreme Prejudice, this tough neo-noir thriller features superb performances from Rourke and co-stars Ellen Barkin (The Big Easy), Elizabeth McGovern (The Bedroom Window), Forest Whitaker (Ghost Dog), Scott Wilson (In Cold Blood), Lance Henriksen (Stone Cold) and Morgan Freeman (Se7en).
