Romeo Is Bleeding | Year: 1994 Classification: Drama Directed: - Peter Medak Actors/Actresses: - Gary Oldman - Lena Olin good drama, great performances= a hit movie! IF you like suspense, action, a good plot, this is it! Gary Oldman is superb, playing a cop who has many obssesions, and gets caught between a rock and a hard place( Lena Olin). I like this movie, it has all the elements that make a movie good:suspense, drama, action, Anabella Ciorra, and a good jazz score by Incognito.In this movie, the score is sort of a onmiscient guide that takes us from happiness to sorrow, to desperation and back. Lena Olin is perfect as the hit woman who goes after Olman, gun in hand.Rarely do we see women being portrayed as strong characters who are not afraid of anything or anybody,independent and able to take action as they see fit. Needless to say I bought this movie, I keep it next to TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A., which is another movie that has a similar tone. In Romeo is bleeding , Roy Scheider is the mob boss who tells Olman " you know the difference between good and bad... you just don't care"right before he gives his ultimatum. You won't find, senseless shootings, or hour long car chases(there is one scene were a car races down an alley for a reason,but no chase). A good movie overall, you should see it too. A gripping and dramatic movie If you like movies about crooked cops or suspenseful life situations, this is the movie for you. You can easily put yourself into this lifelike situation. Gary Oldman puts up a superb performance(as usual). Annabella Sciorra supporting act is great, not to mention she's always nice to see on screen anyways. Roy Scheider and Lena Olin also put up a grand performance as mob forces. If you like shadowy and seductive movies, this is the way to go. Sex, drugs,money and the Journey to Hell Lena Olin gives a great performance as a cold blooded Russian mob boss. The short version of this movie? Gary Oldman plays a currupt cop who is seduced by Olin. She plays the most devilish character I've ever seen. She convinces the Oldman character to give up his wife,mistress and way of life for cash and some affection. It's a [heck] of a ride. Run out and buy this one. This one can stand up to repeated viewings. Olin Ah what a guilty pleasure this film is. The pseudo crime-noir story Romeo is Bleeding is an excellent character study and a chance for multiple actors to chew scenery and develop some great chemistry. Gary Oldman once again plays a seedy, disheveled and dangerous cop [not quite as nasty as the Professional though, heh] turning in bad guys in protective custody to the tune of $65K a dime. A serial womanizer, with Juliette Lewis in tow playing out his fantasies, his world starts to unravel when he is tapped to narc on Russian hit-woman Lena Olin. Olin oozes as much venomous danger as sex appeal as she plays Oldman like a fiddle. Never knowing if her affections are true, or if he's going to get shot in the back of the head, Oldman stumbles around blindly as forces greater than he can imagine conspire against him. Violent but with a blistering black humour, this is a great, underrated film. Recommended.
