Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

SnoopyStyle Corky (Gina Gershon) is a lesbian ex-con who is working as a handywoman in an apartment building owned by criminals. Violet (Jennifer Tilly) and Caesar (Joe Pantoliano) are the couple living next door to the room she's working on. Violet seduces Corky. Violet wants to run off and suggests stealing $2 million from Caesar who is laundering money for the mob.This has fabulous noir style. It is darkly beautiful. The Wachowskis show early on their amazing visual style. This is also very sexy due to the pairing of Gershon and Tilly. They are not only beautiful but they also have these magnetic personalities. They fit their roles so well. The Wachowskis add brutal violence to this heady mix for their impressive directorial debut.

CinemaClown The Wachowski Siblings' feature film debut is a masterly crafted, neatly scripted & expertly directed neo-noir thriller brimming with sex, style, violence & unexpected twists throughout its runtime which apart from demonstrating the cut-throat vision, talent & creativity of the then-new filmmakers, also manages to rank amongst the finest examples of its genre.Bound tells the story of Corky; an ex-con hired for a painting job in an apartment where she meets Violet who lives with her boyfriend who launders money for the mafia. Soon, the two women begin a steamy relationship and after Violet tells her that she wants out of the mob business, the two devise a scheme to steal $2 million worth of mafia money & put the blame on her boyfriend.Written & directed by The Wachowskis, Bound is one of the strongest debuts for any new filmmaker on the block & the level of sophistication present in the story is quite astonishing. The script is meticulously refined, the characters are more than just mere caricatures, the relationship between Corky & Violet is beautifully realised, and the film packs in as much substance as it oozes style.Another impressive thing about Bound is that Wachowskis don't compromise with any of its aspects; whether it's the authentic illustration of a lesbian affair, or the brutal violence that's simply unflinching. Both Gina Gershon & Jennifer Tilly deliver terrific performances as Corky & Violet respectively, their chemistry with each other is even more sizzling & Joe Pantoliano also chips in with a solid contribution.On an overall scale, Bound is a highly unexpected delight for I wasn't expecting it to be as immersive, intelligent & polished as it turned out to be. An excellent piece of neo-noir cinema that's gushing with homoerotic themes, effortlessly keeps the tension alive with its sudden but cleverly executed twists n turns, is effectively paced from start to finish & remains one of Wachowski's best works, Bound comes strongly recommended.

Irishchatter This movie was phenomenal, I loved how there was so much action and the fact the storyline was in top notch!Violet (who I didn't know was the voice of Bonnie Swanson in Family guy until I looked at Jennifer Tillys Wikipedia and IMDb pages!) was honestly the original sex symbol of this movie. Her voice is the sound of a 50's stargirl and she dressed like a babe! Seriously Jennifer Tilly should be more in movies that are set in olden times and she would literally steal the show! With Corky, she is serious character.She really looked stunning as a greaser and I liked her bad girl attitude since she is an ex convict after all. She showed that love for Violet and like its not easy to save 2 million from the mafia with Violet. They were such a great team together and I think Corky is the main heroine in the film.Best Hollywood movie of all time and can I say, brilliant idea for putting in a Tom Jones in the end! :D

notofdisdimention A nice movie with a gripping story line.The characters are few but are memorable, great tension scenes and well written dialogues.Jennifer Tilly character of Corky is seducing more with her voice than her looks.Do watch it, will remind you of those perfect murder or perfect crime movies.Its a different story about love and betrayal.Along with nice twists and turns it is filled with a different scenario in the Italian Mob games.
