Movie Reviews of Bound
Movie Review: OH, YOU CAN GET A MAN WITH A 5 Stars
GINA GERSHON - briefly spectacular even her Jockeys ... and Ms. JENNIFER TILLY? Same thing except in high heels and then some. Yes, it's a somewhat odd couple and stranger bedfellows, longing for the uncomplicated good life and quite prepared to do what they have to do to get there without breaking a nail [well, almost!].This is a delightful quirky little thriller about these two gals pulling a fast one on 'dumb lug' Joe Pantoliano [also excellent and very underrated].
The brothers Wachowski acquit themselves admirably, and this little caper is well worth having in your collection of greats - big and small. Superb art direction and elegant couture too plus a tattoo or two for good measure....
Movie Review: Great Gangland Caper!
Summary: 5 Stars
Kind of like Martin Scorsese with lingerie. Ok, not a pretty image, I admit, but it sort of describes this movie! Although Marty didn't direct, Bound follows gangster movie themes which remind me of some his films, at least up to a point. There are plot twists aplenty here as the two heroines play out their plan to steal $2 million from the mob. It's also good to see two central characters who are gay, shown in such a positive (and sexy) way. Great acting from all concerned, and the movie manages to create a hugely enjoyable mix of bloody gangland stuff with humour and satire. You won't know how it's going to end and you won't want it to end. Superb.Movie Review: A guilty pleasure movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes I own this video. I thought it was incredibly suspensful the first time around. But after the plot is fully revealed I don't feel watching it a second time just to see what happens is necessary or wise. So why I have I watched it more than once? Its all about the lesbian sex scene. *Sigh* Hormones. It's beautifully done and will turn on any girl loving girl or girl loving guy. I mean after all it is the kinda movie that holds you by the seat of the pants to see what happens, and unless you have a memory that's not up to par, it's hard to watch over and over again just to see what happens. The fact Jennifer Tilly is hot helps the movie.Movie Review: A modern noir spiced with style and a visual touch of class!
Summary: 5 Stars
A handywoman (the alluring Gina Gershon) and a gangster's moll (the sensual Jennifer Tilly) fall in love and plan to run off with two millions bucks.
This simple plot is enriched and even enhanced with a not so common visual refinement, and enough tension to capture your whole interest from start to finish.
As you may expect, there is a dose of acidic humour all long the movie but Joe Pantoliano steal the show as the gangster who suddenly finds himself trapped in the middle of the road and has to think faster than the speed of life.
Entertained and extremely sexy-thriller.
Movie Review: Hidden gem from pre-Matrix Wachowskis
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a slick, cool, extra-ordinarily directed "noir" thriller with erotic charge equal (or better) than Basic Instinct or Wild Things.Plot in a sentence: two lesbians try to con the mob out of two million bucks.
What reads like a "C" grade movie looks like an "A" Hollywood production, and is much better than most Hollywood products.
Attention screenwriters! This is how you write a low-budget movie (the whole movie happens inside two flats and a hallway of an apartment building)! Riveting stuff that announced the greater things to come from Wachowski Brothers...
Favourite line: "It's all part of the business..."
