    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Now this film may have one of the worst special effects make up Job for 'Johnny Handsome' in Movie history BUT if you want a top class bring you back to the 80's , Micky Rourke in his prime, tough, gritty, gum chewing hotheaded doublecrossing action with heart, then this is for you! And as an added bonus for you there are quite a few top named actors in this little known gem!.... heard of Morgan Freeman anyone?

    This film will have you glued from beginning to end and shows Micky Rourke as you remembered him in films like 'Angel Heart' & '9 1/2 weeks'. What have you got to loose,go on try this!

    if your looking for a well acted thriller then this is the film for you. mickey is in his prime he plays the role very well, morgan freemen is also good, makes a change for him to play the bad guy. if your a fan of mickey rourke then watch this you will love it.

    Johnny Handsome is a film that can be apprecitated by action film buffs or people after a good tear jerker or Mickey Rourke fans. This is not only a sad story but it is also a swansong to the ever great Mickey Rourke (although he is now making a comeback thanks to The Rainmaker and Once Upon A Time in Mexico) shame Rourke wasn't born ten years late because he could've put Leo DiCaprio, and even Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe to shame, with his masculine good looks and great voice. Like I said this is a film for Mickey Rourke fans but also for film buffs(such as myself) who are interested in the legendary Carolco studio, and how they prospered in the 1980's and early 1990's only to face bankrupcy a few years down the line.
