Movie Reviews of BOUND (UNRATED) / (WS) - BOUND (UNRATED) / (WS)
Movie Review: The Wachowski Brothers' best film....
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm going out on a limb here, but I think this is the best work that the Wachowski Brothers have ever done. This is an awesome film noir, a film where you have no idea what's going to happen. I remember sweating bullets during it because, as an avid film person, I usually figure this stuff out. But this film kept me guessing until the end, which is something most modern films don't do.
Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon are awesome as the leads, and Joey Pantoliano gives a great, great performance as a deranged heavy that may lose it at any time. Many have made hay about the 2 lead characters being lesbians, which to me ultimately doesn't matter. The film itself is incredible tense and entertaining, and you forget about the fact that the two lead women are lesbians, even though the sex scenes are quite steamy.
For all of the fanfare of the Matrix films and the debacle of the Speed Racer film, it's nice to see this film and remember that the Wachowski Brothers actually can make a great film without CGI. This is their best film.
Summary of BOUND (UNRATED) / (WS) - BOUND (UNRATED) / (WS)
Destined for cult status, this provocative thriller offers a grab bag of genres (gangster movie, comedy, sexy romance, crime caper) and tops it all off with steamy passion between lesbian ex-con Corky (Gina Gershon) and a not-so-ditzy gun moll named Violet (Jennifer Tilly), who meets Corky and immediately tires of her mobster boyfriend (Joe Pantoliano). Desperate to break away from the Mob's influence and live happily ever after, the daring dames hatch a plot to steal $2 million of Mafia money. Their scheme runs into a series of escalating complications, until their very survival depends on split-second timing and criminal ingenuity. Simultaneously violent, funny, and suspenseful, Bound is sure to test your tolerance for bloodshed, but the film is crafted with such undeniable skill that several critics (including Roger Ebert) placed it on their top-ten lists for 1996. --Jeff ShannonDrama DVD Video
