Bound (1996)
5/10
Corky & Violet
2 October 2013
Jennifer Tilly & Gina Gershon star in this twisty film directed by the Wachowski Brothers that has two women named Corky & Violet who team up to steal the laundered mob money of Violet's boyfriend Caesar(Joe Pantoliano) and pin the blame on him. Things don't go according to plan when Caesar reacts unexpectedly, and his boss(played by John P. Ryan) gets involved, forcing the women to come up with another plan if they hope to get away with the money and their lives...

Good cast and stylish direction cannot redeem this sordid story that gives the viewer nobody to root for. Everyone here is without conscience and out for themselves, so I can't really cheer at the "happy" ending, and Caesar is in some ways more sympathetic than the two women!

A cult film nonetheless.
