ROMEO IS BLEEDING (1994)

This contemporary film noir rubs our noses in its desire to be a gaudy hipster freak show. Jack Grimaldi (Gary Oldman), a New York cop, makes blood money on the side by revealing the interim locations of Witness Protection Program volunteers. As mob assassin Mona Demarkov, Lena Olin, flashing killer legs and a killer smile, is everything you want in a femme fatale. Yet instead of coaxing a character out of Olin's red-hot suggestiveness, the filmmakers turn her into a ruthless psycho avenger. By the end, Romeo Is Bleeding has become so mired in pointless mayhem that it ceases to be any fun at all.
