Taking Chances . . . Bitter Stories

Neo-Noir - Walter Hill's Johnny Handsome 

A solo episode for your enjoyment. This week I recommend a classic Walter Hill film showcasing the violence, grittiness, and power of action and neo-noir cinema. Featuring an all-star cast including Forrest Whitaker, Ellen Barkin, Lance Henriksen, Elizabeth McGovern, Morgan Freeman (in a rare - questionably - villainous role), and a leading performance from a young and beautiful Mickey Rourke. Darkness overwhelms this film and is a magical reminder of Hill at his artistic peak. Take a listen and let us know what you think.
