Customer Reviews of Romeo Is Bleeding [Region 2]
Romeo Is Bleeding - Bogart meets Lucretia McEvil The words 'wildly entertaining' describe [[ASIN:B00005UM2X Romeo is Bleeding]] to perfection. The narration by Gary Oldman takes you back to old Philip Marlowe films. And, of course, Oldman's portrayal of Jack Grimaldi is, as usual, absolutely perfect. He'll have you rooting for his "good-guy doing naughty things" character - and he does some really naughty things. Gary Oldman fans have GOT to see this one. Lena Olin is the most frightening, the most enjoyable villainess you'll ever see, bar none. She's simply fantastic.
Dark and Extraordinary
If you are a Gary Oldman fan, you MUST see this movie! This is one of his finest performances, subtle and completely believable. <

>The story opens with Oldman as a cheating husband and corrupt cop, but twists and turns after that, incorporating subtle overtones of the paranormal and many ethical and moral dilemmas in a complex story of survival. Great stunt work, too. This one will grip you from beginning to end!
Outstanding Film-Noir Thriller!
I can certainly see where the critics were wrong on this one. I viewed this film when it was first released, and thought it was great! Not just the suspense that is in the film, but the entire originality and creepy eeriness of the film too! When I saw reviews of this film a week later blasting the film, I knew then [always did] that critics were usually off the mark. That is why I pay no heed to critics when they criticize or rave about films. This is one hell of a film. Jack (Gary Oldman) is a police sergeant. As a detective on the force he earns added income by accepting payoffs from a certain mobster named Falcone (Roy Scheider). Jack has inside information on the Witness Protection Program, and knows when certain individuals are being relocated. He gives this information to Falcone, whenever he requests it. In turn, Falcone rewards Jack very handsomely with large cash payments.<

>However, problems occur when the latest request by Falcone to give him information on a Russian hitwoman (Lena Olin), backfires on Jack. Jack finds himself in hot water. Not only with the department, but the Russian hitwoman and Falcone too! This is no ordinary hitwoman. Mona (Lena Olin) gives a superb acting performance in this film. There are some shocking scenes involving Mona [no spoilers] that are very disturbing. What ensues are fast-paced, creepy and totally unsuspecting scenes throughout the film. Jack knows he has messed up, but it is too late to turn back. And Mona, he finds, is more than he bargained for. She is also more than Falcone bargained for too! This film is highly recommended. However, it may appeal to certain audiences only. I recommend the film highly, however, you may want to rent it first to see if it appeals to you. I found the film great in its entirety, and Lena Olin's character is one hell of a strange one. [Stars: 5+]
