Bound - 1996 - 7/10
Ex-con Corky, who works at the apartment building, catches the eye of neighbor Violet.
Violet invents an excuse for them to meet, and the two soon give in to desire.
Standard enough fare, perhaps edgy with the lesbian angle, but then there is Violet’s boyfriend.
Caesar is a Mob money launderer (literally), and the girls decide to fleece him.
Showpiece debut by the Wachowskis is an outstanding low budget affair.
Bold, powerful support (Joe Pantoliano enjoyed a streak afterward), yet the film belongs to the ladies: Gina Gershon and Meg Tilly in this subversive Neo-Noir.
