Johnny Handsome (1989) ***1/2

As is true of several of  Walter Hill 's films, Johnny Handsome (1989) features a strong cast, intense performances, violent antagonists, bold cinematography, thrilling action, and a sexy, slinky  Ry Cooder  score. JH  is an economic, noirish crime drama based on a novel by Morton Freedgood (under the pen name John Godey), who also wrote The Taking Of Pelham One Two Three (1973) [my review of the 1974 film adaptation  here ].
