Romeo Is Bleeding

1993 Peter Medak drama stars Gary Oldman, Lena Olin, Juliette Lewis, Roy Scheider.

Crooked cop ordered by mob boss to kill a female assassin. Sounds dark and depressing, and sometimes is, but also entertaining and quite funny at times. Oldman is great (can he do anything wrong?) but the stand out is Olin as the hit woman.

Very different, contemporary stab at film noir.
