What plagues the film most is its unbalanced treatment of character development. The eponymous Romeo is overdeveloped, while Mona and the other female roles are paper-thin. Jack is basically a greedy bastard primarily concerned with satiating his appetites.

Both of these films document men's lives: one is the story of someone wrongly accused, the other that of the scientific genius, Steven Hawkins. Both employ hindsight to reconstruct events...
...reasons we use to cover our ignorance are thin. "It's so complicated," we protest. Yet saving the Jews of German-occupied Eastern Europe would have been infinitely more complicated. After all, in Bosnia, U.N. troops are standing by as the killing continues...
