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 Shannon

At this moment is really hard to find some movie with real suspense, in BOUND you'll find a lot of it.

- This violence-porn fantasy film is probably
This violence-porn fantasy film is probably required viewing for Arab terrorists.
It looks like a technologically updated "reefer madness" film-noir of the fifties that FBI agents were required to sit through before they were sent out into the field to battle illegal drugs.
The mental level is 3rd grade, the sex and violence are Narcissus-inspired and the reek is sweaty armpits.
All and all, it's a painful bagful of visual cliches and verbal f*ck-s*ck that insinuates ... Read More
Rating: - A modern noir spiced with style and a visual touch of class!
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.

- Not free from issues, but definitely better than expected...
I really expected very little from this film.I knew that it had a big cult following, but so does `Showgirls', and lord knows how dreadfully ridiculous that trash was.So, it's safe to say that at best I was expecting another `Poison Ivy', you know, equipped with a decent performance or two but ultimately void of any real merit.While in parts I believe my initial preconceived notion of the film is correct, there is much to enjoy here that I wasn't expecting.
