You got the plot right.  There is no Shakespeare reference in the film.

No Shakespeare content but good noir nonetheless.

Romeo is bleeding is either amazing or overwrought, depending on who you
ask.  It has nothing to do with Shakespeare and lots to do with film
noir or attempted film nor (depending on who you ask).  Gary Oldman
plays a crooked cop exactly as you would expect him, but being from the
group who thinks highly of the film, I believe its highlight is Lena
Olin as Mona Demarkov, one of the greatest screen villains I can think
of.  No, I have no explanation for the title.

As always www.imdb.com is a great source for more info.

in the process, that's his problem.  -Mona Demarkov

Jeff,

The title Romeo is Bleeding is from a Tom Waits song.  I thought the
film was great, with Lena Olin in a particularly demonic role.

Dunno about the film but there's a damn brilliant Tom Waits song of the
same name on his Blue Valentine album circa 1977...check it out the man
is God.  (Waits I mean).
