Too much of everything

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

So what would you call this - an erotic thriller? A sexy gangster flick? A sleek suspense drama? Hey I got it, Thelma and Louise on steroids!However way you look at it, this is one smooth ride with a perfectly cast mix of deceitful characters who keep you guessing with their motivations and duplicity. Jennifer Tilly is perfectly suited for dumb blonde roles, the only problem here is she's not dumb, and definitely not blonde. Gina Gershon just oozes sexiness, even when she's beaten and tied up by Joe Pantoliano's character, who's got the sleaze factor down just about right. The story is filled with enough double crosses to make your head spin, and doesn't let up on the tension until the very end.From the delinquently fertile minds of the Wachowski Brothers (Lana and Lilly, go figure), this is a finely crafted suspense film that borders on both horror and soft porn, but in a slightly demented good way if you know what I mean. As the viewer you're always kept guessing about that cool, two point one seven million, and when the dust settles and the paint dries, you know that the only difference between Violet and Corky is..., not one thing.

‪A technically impressive directorial debut from The Wachowskis, with some interesting plot turns. The chemistry between Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon is great and their determined and clever female main characters are still quite fresh 21 years later.‬Twitter: @7thArtShortRevs (Mårten Larsson).

Bound is Wachowski's first film as writer/directors and put them in the map that led to the Matrix films.There is very little original about it. A non pastiche Coen Brother's modern film noir with Tarantino dollops of violence.Ex-con plumber Corky (Gina Gershon) moves in next door to gangster moll Violet's (Jennifer Tilly) apartment to redecorate and both become attracted to each other. It is one of the few mainstream films that actually offers a better portrayal of lesbian sex.Violet's gangster boyfriend Caesar (Joe Pantoliano) launders money for the mafia. The two women plot to steal $2 million from Caesar and frame him, so his bosses think he stole it. We already see the mafia's boss son sadistically torture one schmuck.The plan seems to be going fine but Ceasar does not run when he sees that the money is missing and starts to work things out leading to mayhem for the two women.There is nothing new in the plot and I found Tilly's acting rather off, her voice sounds like it has had a dose of helium.What the Wachowski's get right is to make a mean and tight thriller on a low budget making the best use of cinematography and art direction at their disposal.

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
