Romeo Is Bleeding
1993
***½
Director: Peter Medak
Cast: Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, Annabella Sciorra, Juliette Lewis, Roy Scheider
A darkly funny crime story about a corrupt cop who plays both sides of the law in order to earn some extra cash. Gary Oldman is great as the slimy antihero and Lena Olin is deliciously nasty as an extremely ruthless mob assassin. Unfortunately the story ceases to make much sense towards the end.
