Revenge has a new face!

Rourke stars as the title character, a hideously disfigured crook who teams up with his best friend Mikey (Scott Wilson) and two volatile lowlifes, Rafe (Lance Henriksen) and Sunny (Ellen Barkin), to knock over a coin shop. The robbery goes bad; Rafe shoots and kills Mikey and leaves Johnny wounded.

In prison, a doctor (Forest Whitaker) gives him plastic surgery in the hopes of reforming him. Johnny even gets a work furlough and begins seeing a pretty accountant (Elizabeth McGovern). But a New Orleans police Lieutenant (Morgan Freeman) knows what no one else will admit: that Johnny will be looking for revenge.
