Chicago Sun-Times: Romeo is Bleeding Roger Ebert describes the film as "an exercise in overwrought style and overwritten melodrama, and proof that a great cast cannot save a film from self-destruction."
The Washington Post: Romeo is Bleeding Rita Kempley's review: "...Henkin has hard-boiled the action genre twice over with this lurid, ludicrous, appallingly violent, offhandedly moralistic spoof."
