Bound (1996)
Country: US
Technical: col 109m
Director: The Wachowski Brothers (Andy and Larry)
Cast: Gina Gershon, Jennifer Tilly, Joe Pantoliano
Synopsis:
The mistress of a mafia accountant falls for an odd job woman and ex-con and together they conceive a plan to steal over a million in recently recovered loot while framing the accountant for the theft.
Review:
Ingenious, sexy thriller, setting much of the action inside two neighbouring apartments. Many of the shots smack of their creators' background in comic strip, and the film is acted with such cheesy relish that it acquires a different kind of artifice to the Coen brothers' work in similar vein. The flashback structure also owes a debt to Tarantino. Gallows humour abounds and of course conventional morality is overturned when the transgressive lovers not only survive but make off with the loot.
