Review of Bound (1996) by Adam F — 21 Mar 2013
There's more to "Bound" than the famous erotic scenes; it's a gripping heist film that will have you on the edge of your seat as you try to guess where it goes next. You have probably heard of this movie because of the leads, Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon, but the real stars at the Wachowski brothers, who wrote and directed a tight story that's complex but not confusing.
Like most heist films, once the plan is set up a lot of the fun is guessing what is going to go right and what will go wrong but also seeing the protagonists adapt to the constantly changing situation they're in.
There isn't a moment that's wasted and the tension builds consistently throughout the movie. You may go in for the famous love making scene, but great performances and believable characters will suck you in as soon as the movie starts.
