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

- 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… More reviews
- The Wachowski Brothers' best film....
- 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… More reviews
- Excellent Thriller, Poor DVD Transfer
- Of the many films I have in my DVD library, "Bound" is a truly unique and engrossing thriller. The cinematography, acting, editing, music and script are all finely honed to a razor-sharp edge. For a debut film by the Wachowski Brothers this set the mark very high in regards to quality. Even with a limited budget everything in this film simply works beyond all… More reviews
