Quick Letterboxd Thoughts: Romeo Is Bleeding (1993)

Here's some quick Letterboxd thoughts for ROMEO IS BLEEDING (1993): https://boxd.it/1iA537

This neo-noir was quite a delight.  If it wasn’t for Twilight Time, I’d probably never discover this film.  As always, Gary Oldman plays another diverse role, playing a crooked cop rather than the honorable Commissioner Gordon.  Loved the “Feeding the Hole” theme - Oldman’s character tried justifying his actions for money, but knew he’d never fill the void.  I also enjoyed the story framing at the beginning and end of the film - we know where he ends up, but have no idea how he got there.
