Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Romeo Is Bleeding is the flawed black comedy from director Peter Medak (The Krays) about a bad cop who slowly gets his due. Gary Oldman plays yet another quirky character, this time a New York detective on the take. His life goes haywire as he squares off with a Russian hit woman. Despite an intriguing cast and great dialogue, the movie becomes a bit too eccentric for its own good as several actors have nothing to do. The high point is Lena Olin, who finally has a role she can sink her teeth into: her zesty, monstrous assassin, Mona Demarkov, is one of the great movie villains. --Doug Thomas

- Dark forces ruin cop
I bought this dvd about three years and have probably watched it over thirty times since. For me it's a great treatment of obsessive/addictive behaviour wrapped up in a sylish and sexy crime drama. It's about obsession/addiction for love,for sex and for money. Jack Grimaldi(played by Gary Oldman) is led by "that old voice in the back of his head" which rendered him powerless to his obsessions/addictions. Essentially he cannot function without living life on the edge and in doing so he puts his marriage, his job and especially his life on the line. Neither his sanity nor his judgment was ever in question as he clearly never possessed any. His nemesis in the form of the female lead mobster Mona De Markoff(played by Lena Olin) represented everything he ever wanted but never had ie power, style, sensuality and ruthlessness. She was the perfect woman for him and he could do nothing to stop himself from gravitating towards ... Read More

- "With or without?" doesn't matter, Lena nails it!
Want neo-noir? The real deal? Look no further. From the moment Lena Olin delivers the most potent two-word warning; "Keep lookin'," I've ever heard in film, to the bizarre and beautiful fade-out at the desolate Holiday Dinner, you're emersed in a dark, deadly, moral wasteland,inhabited by some of the most finely drawn feral characters you'll ever run into on the far side of the Styx.

Olin delivers a tour-de-force, as femme-fatale Mona Demarkov, a psychotic Russsian hitwoman, but Gary Oldman isn't far behind her with his portrayal of Jack Grimaldi, a sexually obsessed, crooked cop who tangles with Mona. The supporting cast is killer, and dead-bang on target, with: Annabella Sciorra in a subtle triumph as Jack's wife, Julliet Lewis perfect as Jack's ditzy girlfriend, Roy Schieder is chilling as Mona's gangster kingpin nemisis, Michael Wincott comes on sinister and solid, as Schieder's top thug. Ron Pearlman ... Read More

- Saw it.....Loved it.....Own it
I rated this movie as one of the top five movies that I have ever seen....You have got to see the scene where Ms. Olin escapes from the backseat of a car.
