Editorial Review:

Amazon.com essential video:
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

- 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 expectations.

If you have friends who thought they have seen some thrillers I recommend that they are shown this film. I'm pleased ... Read More

- One of my Favorite movies ! I've seen numerous films.
Normally, I rarely watch a movie more than once, unless I want to share the experience with someone. However, *this* is one of my favorite movies, and I have seen it several times. In fact, when I worked in a movie store, while in college, I watched Prey for Rock & Roll specifically because Gina Gershon was in the flick, due to her role in Bound.

Bound is at times loud and violent, but the film also reveals subtle, sensual aspects of the characters that contrast with the angry gangster ... Read More

This is a fast paced crime thriller. A must view for fans of the creators of The Matrix Trilogy.
