The story of a cop who wanted it bad and got it worse.
Film Synopsis
Romeo Is Bleeding (1993) centers on a morally compromised cop working as an intermediary for organized crime while attempting to maintain both his family life and his illicit relationships. As his assignment to monitor a dangerous female assassin develops into an obsessive affair and rival criminal interests begin closing in around him, deception, corruption, and escalating violence steadily destroy his control over both his professional and personal life. This neo-noir crime thriller examines corruption and sexual obsession within a bleak urban underworld, as personal boundaries erode, with organized crime, betrayal, and psychological self-destruction.
