See more Camille L 04/13/2021 Johnny Handsome est un film de Walter Hill débarrassé de tous les oripeaux narratifs et originaux qu'il ait pu essayé de faire avec Streets of Fire et The Warriors. Ici, l'histoire compte à peine, les personnages ne sont que des caricatures d'eux-mêmes et certains acteurs n'essaient même pas. Tout ce qui compte pour Walter Hill avec ce film, c'est d'avoir la musique de Ry Cooder, quelques badass ici et là, des fusillades très sévères, une narration qui ne passe que par un montage représentatif de son oeuvre et des dialogues à la limite de la parodie. Johnny Handsome ne dure que 90 minutes et ne serait-ce qu'une minute de plus aurait été de trop. C'est le film noir somme de Walter Hill, ses adieux à un genre qu'il a aidé à magnifier. C'est une curiosité tout à fait passionnante.

The man has talent, showcased here, now wasted See more 12/10/2018 Walter Hill, the director has brought us 48 Hours, Another 48 Hours and The Warriors. Now he brings us Johnny Handsome, which stars Mickey Rourke as John Sedley A.K.A Johnny Handsome. Now looking at it's poster I would have thought it was about a man who disguises himself as a charming handsome guy, but would bat an eye lid if you cross him. But that isn't the case at all. Johnny Sedley grew up as a crack baby. His mother was a heroine addict during her pregnancy with Johnny. And the side effects from the drugs has made him into a disfigured man that can only rely on his family's love for the way he looks, but from the looks of it, it looks like he doesn't have much family to confide in, as we see in the opening scene, he's probably an outcast to most of his friends and family. His close friend, Mike (Scott Wilson) are planning to rob a jewellery store with Donna (Elizabeth McGovern) and Rafe (Lance Henriksen). Let's just say Johnny isn't their favourite person, due to his appearance but they need him and that's what the movie is trying to tell us that the people who drag and put you down, will need you for what's important to them and Johnny knows that, but as we the audience he's afraid to stand up for himself.
