Romeo Is Bleeding - 1993 - 6/10

Jack is a bent copper, on the take from the mob, a woman abuser.
A doomed loser, hemmed in by his own sorry choices and corrupt character.
Latest favor he owes? Whack job.
Only the target is attractive, and cunning. Oh, and a hitman, feminine version.
Yes, Jack is out of his league.
Merciless Neo-Noir, riddled with diseased twists.
Dialogue is arch, and Gary Oldham’s delivery strikes one as mannered, yet believable.
For a dark tale, this is awfully funny at times, and Jack is a cringe worthy soul.
