Before striking the motherlode with the Matrix, the Wachowski Brothers made this gem. Easily the best "lesbians try to steal money from the mob" movie ever made. Even without the lesbian content (which is what originally drew me in) this film is wonderful. The plotting is tense & taut, with narey a hole in site. Despite the preponderance of mob movies and the stereotypes associated with them, "Bound" manages to avoid all of them. All the character's from the leads (Cesar, Corky & Violet) to the minors (Micky, Shelly, even the cops) are originals, with each scene revealing a new dimension to the characters. And the direction is fantastic. The lighting, the angles, the editing, all are used to highten the tension and never come across like "tricks" I just bought the letterbox version of the video so I can watch it over and over. Highly recommended!
score 10/10
