Bound

A neo-noir that turns the crime thriller on its head from the inside.

Bound is the feature film debut of the Wachowskis, the directors who would later become known for The Matrix . The film combines the atmosphere of classic film noir with a contemporary, subversive take on the crime genre. Stylized imagery, deep shadows, and a tight narrative make Bound a visually striking film that holds you from beginning to end.

Desire as the starting point for a dangerous plan

Ex-convict Corky (Jennifer Tilly) gets a job in an apartment complex. She meets her neighbor Violet (Gina Gershon), the girlfriend of mafia money launderer Caesar. A relationship develops between Corky and Violet. When Caesar has 2 million dollars in mafia money in his house, the two women devise a plan to steal it. What follows is a game of trust, deceit, and suspense.

A cult film with a lasting impact
