RON PERLMAN IN "ROMEO IS BLEEDING"

Jack Grimaldi (Gary Oldman) is a seasoned New York City cop who specializes in organized crime. His job is to watch gangsters for a living. Once, in the faded past of his youth, it was an important job, but now Jack sees that life on the other side of the binoculars has that little extra something that he is missing - extra sex, extra money, extra excitment.

So, he starts walking on both sides of the street, splitting his loyalty between the mobsters and the law, and his affections between his loving wife, (Annabella Sciorra) and a willing mistress (Juliette Lewis). He's just taking what he thinks he's earned, until life sends him what he truly deserves - hit woman Mona Demarkov (Lena Olin) - a woman whose trigger finger is as deadly as her powers of seduction. And Jack is about to run headlong into his own apocalyptic day of reckoning... Love and hate are only a bullet apart.
