Product Details


Product Description

Amazon.ca

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

"Bound" is the type of movie that some people would call neo-noir Thriller,
but it's still not for every one,especially the lesbian scene,that some say takes away from the
movie,i really don't think so,because the plot was set out by Violet played by [Jennifer Tilly],
who with no other resources but her body,to get Corky played by [Gina Gershon]to steal 2 million
dollars from the mob and her crooked boyfriend caesar, who would
do [anything i think in a movie have you seen Killer Joe with the full frontal nudity scene] i almost
fell on the floor,so if you think not showing the scene of the love making,or listening to Jennifer Tilly
voice for under 2 hours i mite add,you're very much mistaken,because it is the plot,so take your A#%
out of head because there is something afoul with you,why does everyone seem to think all
movies has to suit there needs or taste,i will say it was a dam good movie for my taste especially
Caesar [Joe Pantoliano] who very good,and i see they use Legendary director [Richard C.Sarafian],
(Vanishing Point) as the mob boss,now this is in full screen which i hate, so i went and change my
setting on my blu-ray player so it becomes widescreen,and i have to say picture Quality is great on
this blu-ray.

5.0 out of 5 stars By the Directors of the Matrix Mar 28 2004
By Mensor
Format:DVD
I heard of this movie when I saw the Matrix DVD bonus extras. This was the movie that got them the Matrix. I felt that is was excellently done with plot twists and mistakes in plans that were excellently directed. Well worth seeing.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very entertaining movie
for what it is: a decent caper film with a great performance by Joe P., one of his best. Tilly isn't bad either, but it's hard to take her seriously with that voice, I have to... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant mob movie played against type.
This is a wonderful movie, and being used to the standard offering where macho italian mobsters beat up on their dumb molls, it is a real breath of fresh air. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Innovative film portrayal of lesbians and good noir.
For warchild27: Yes, on track 18 of my DVD, Joey Pants' commentary cuts out for most of the rest of the track. From track 19 on, the commentary should be fine. Read more

So again, there's no point in me buying this DVD since it won't work on my widescreen TV.

Gina Gershon has never been hard to look at...and if you can stand Tilly's voice for two hours you may get through the movie unharmed, It is a great effort...but realistic? Read more
