An uplifter - Chucky
This movie starts with an anestisiologist liikng down on you from an upside down perspective. He teels you to relax and count backwards and then you start the movie as if you're having a drug induced dream. It begins with a horribly disfigured Johnny Handsome (Micky Rourke) He teams up with Lance Henrickson to rob a jewlery store. The heist goes off well but Henrickson has bigger plans for the loot than sharing it with his partner in crime. After He betrays Handsom, Henrickson gets away and johnny goes to jail. In prison, Johnny comes to the attention of a doctor portrayed by Forrest Wittiker, he is transformed from a grotesque freak into a striking figure of a man. Released from prison, Johnny goes straight until he locates his former partner and "puts them through the whole dance" with dire results. Not for young children or sensative people.
