hot, steamy and a great story - Bound review by SM
Some girl-on-girl action to start with, then a crime caper with growing tension leading to to an excellent ending. Thoroughly enjoyable!

Excellent Erotic Thriller - Bound review by GI
Part erotic thriller, part gangster and part film noir this is a gem of a film that you may not have come across. Written and directed by the then Wachowski Brothers (now sisters) it is a superbly scripted story that has a twist and turn plot, it's sexy and clever and is full of surprises. Gina Gershon plays ex-con Corky who is renovating an apartment as part of her parole. She meets the sexy Violet (Jennifer Tilly) from next door and very soon they begin a passionate affair. Violet's partner is Caesar (Joe Pantoliano), a money launderer for the mafia and ruthless thug. She convinces Corky she wants to escape from Caesar and together they hatch a plan to steal $2million of the Mob's money and get Caesar blamed for it. It appears a perfect plan but Caesar is cleverer and more unpredictable than they envisaged. There's some innovative camerawork that is very stylish giving the film a contemporary feel even with a plot that is reminiscent of a classic Hollywood film. It's a great little film that is excellently written and directed and delivers a story that keeps you hooked throughout with some edge of your seat bits and occasional unexpected shocks.
