Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

phanthinga As much as I love what The Wachowski brothers did with The Matrix and how it redefine the action genre I know and love to a whole new level in the 21st century Bound they first debut in 1996 a slick crime romance movie with lesbian theme have a deeper meaning than just a gimmick if you know what they really are today. Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon make an great duo to watch but Joe Pantoliano in my opinion is the best actor in this movie when he lose his mind on screen and the way he deliver his lines make it so funny to watch

Prismark10 Bound is Wachowski's first film as writer/directors and put them in the map that led to the Matrix films.There is very little original about it. A non pastiche Coen Brother's modern film noir with Tarantino dollops of violence.Ex-con plumber Corky (Gina Gershon) moves in next door to gangster moll Violet's (Jennifer Tilly) apartment to redecorate and both become attracted to each other. It is one of the few mainstream films that actually offers a better portrayal of lesbian sex.Violet's gangster boyfriend Caesar (Joe Pantoliano) launders money for the mafia. The two women plot to steal $2 million from Caesar and frame him, so his bosses think he stole it. We already see the mafia's boss son sadistically torture one schmuck.The plan seems to be going fine but Ceasar does not run when he sees that the money is missing and starts to work things out leading to mayhem for the two women.There is nothing new in the plot and I found Tilly's acting rather off, her voice sounds like it has had a dose of helium.What the Wachowski's get right is to make a mean and tight thriller on a low budget making the best use of cinematography and art direction at their disposal.

Dale Haufrect "Bound" is a film from 1996. It is currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming and is well worth the watch. It is written and directed by Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski. It has the following featured actors: Jennifer Tilly, Gina Gershon, Joe Pantoliano, John P Ryan, Christopher Meloni, Richard C. Sarafian, Mary Mara, Susie Bright, Margaret Smith, Barry Kivel, Peter Spellos, Ivan Kane, Kevin Michael Richardson and Gene Brokan. The story revolves around a lesbian relationship between two felonious characters who get involved with the Chicago Mafia. There are twists and turns throughout the movie that leaves one breathless. I gave it 10 stars, for even though it has a slow start, it progresses to a magnificent crescendo. Dale Haufrect

bowmanblue Bound is the story of... lesbians. Or at least that's what a lot of people seem to dwell on when talking about the film. Actually, any lesbian activity is only a small part of the film. Bound is actually a tale of deception and doublecrossing where a couple of women (yes, lesbians) hatch a plan to steal money from the mob.Whereas with other gangster films, they rely on constantly witty dialogue to establish character, or various other gimmicks. Bound is simple cause and effect. What starts out as a relatively straightforward plan leads to something going wrong, which leads to something else going wrong and so on.Issues of trust, loyalty, love, violence and everything else are covered, along with a couple of sex scenes and violence utilizing pruning shears. All of this is choreographed beautifully by the Wachowski brothers. However, it's Joe Pantoliano who steals the show. He plays a wiseguy that gets caught in the downward spiral which the girls have created.If you're looking for a sexy, stylish, tense thriller, this is for you (just don't expect any 'Matrix-style' fight scenes!).
