ThisThe ultra-violent neo-noir film '''''Romeo Is Bleeding''''' is named after a [[Tom Waits]] song and has become something of a cult favorite. Jack Grimaldi ([[Gary Oldman]]) lives two lives. By day he is a respected detective with a loving wife. By night he works jobs for the Mafia and shacks up with his younger mistress. Everything changes when he's ordered by the mob to kill a brutal and seductive Russian hitwoman, Mona Demarkov (Lena Olin), who is placed in his custody. {{Needs More Info}} ---- {{tropelist}} ~~=== '''This film contains examples of:''' ===~~ * [[Bittersweet Ending]]: After shooting Mona during a heated final confrontation in which she threatens to kill his wife, Jack is given a commendation instead of being sent to prison for murder and starts a new life out West in a small remote town. However, he spends his days pining for the forgiveness and return of his estranged wife. * [[Chained to Aa Bed]]: After killing his mistress, Mona then handcuffs Jack to the bed and has her way with him. * [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Mona does this to Jack repeatedly - attempting to strangle him after convincing him to murder his own mob boss and fake her own death and trying to turn him into the police after he shoots the Don. * [[Dark Action Girl]]: Mona is a pretty realistic example, and is much more terrifying because of it.
