It's noir lite.

[It's] never content with one cliche when it can shovel on ten.
April 9, 2008 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review… -
The far-fetched plotting eventually goes so far over the top that pic flirts with inventing a new genre of film noir camp.

It would be facile to say it substitutes style for content; actually, it substitutes stylishness for style.

Stylistic but ultimately unsatisfying.

Jun 02, 2012Romeo is Bleeding is a freaking mess. It is stylish, but it tries a bit too hard. The plot in confusing, even when the movie was over I wasn't sure what it really was about. Fortunately, the acting is solid. Gary Oldman and Lena Olin are terrific. This just falls in a category of films from the early 90's that tried to reinvent film noir. Could have been better.Hugo S Super Reviewer

Mar 25, 2011Gary literally saves this movie from just being another crime and double-agent clusterfuck like so many noir films that tried too hard to be noir. Everyone has an angle and the jazz music ensues, I'll be damned if I don't like it though.Greg A Super Reviewer

Nov 17, 2009films like this give noir a bad name. oldman's voiceover is irritating, the script is all over the place and the final result is more sleazy than stylish. almost quit on it a couple times but it kept promising to get better...then went completely off the deep end. the only thing worth watching here is lena olin's psychotic lingerie-clad hitwoman. she's pretty great. what a wasteStella D Super Reviewer

Jul 24, 2008<b>The story of a cop who wanted it bad and got it worse.</b> Gary Oldman plays a corrupt cop who slowly fucks up his life...by giving off protected locations to the mob...It all went wrong when he met a female russian hit-woman... I loved this movie. Absolutley loved it. Gary Oldman is amazing in it, a really amazing performance. The story is introuging and Lena Olin has to be one of the coolest female villians... Oh and that beginning and the ending, loved the way they had made those... <i>"People think that Hell is fire and brimstone and the Devil poking you in the butt with a pitchfork, but it's not. Hell is when you should have walked away, but you didn't."</i>Charlotta L Super Reviewer

| Jack Grimaldi: | Maybe it was just his imagination, but whenever he'd pull up that plate, he'd hear a... sucking sound. It started out small, with the first 65 grand. And then it got bigger. Pretty soon it was the only thing he heard. Pretty soon, all he could think about was feeding the hole. He didn't think about when he was a kid. He didn't think about the guys who he started who were still on the up-and-up. He didn't think about the dreams he had with Natalie. He didn't think about those Feds lying there. Most of all, he didn't think about Mona Demarkov, because the way he saw it, she was done. Just another 65 grand for the hole. He fed the hole and he made the hole happy. It was the only thing he knew how to make happy. |

| Jack Grimaldi: | You ever seen a ghost? There's this guy. Comes in here. Every May 1st. Every May 1st, every December 1st. Like clock work. What's he want? Well, frankly, I ain't exactly sure. He had the strangest story to tell. He left this here and I keep it for him. How do I know he'll be back? What's that? A woman was involved? Hm, just fits. I was married once myself. Beautiful girl. By the way my name is Jim Daurighty. I run this place. His name? Sure. His name is Jack Grimaldi. Hey, there he is now! |
