Bound

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

How is a debut film this good? A minimalist, small, heist/mob movie. The intimacy pops off the screen between Violet and Corky. A simple plan goes off the rails and is told through a handful of extremely memorable visual scenes. Loved it.

One of my comfort movies. Bound is a gripping, stylish thriller that blends crime, suspense, and a passionate romance at its core. Gina Gershon and Jennifer Tilly deliver strong performances as two women who plot to steal money from a mobster, all while navigating their evolving relationship. The film’s sharp direction, slick visuals, and intense atmosphere keep the tension high, making it a compelling watch. Though it’s a bit predictable in parts, its bold characters and memorable chemistry between the leads elevate it into a cult classic.

Tilly and Gershon are great together. Great twist on film noir.

Though this film isn't lacking flaws, I still immensely enjoyed this tense bottle thriller. Bound starts out pretty rough but becomes incredibly engaging in the 2nd and 3rd act, and this film could've been ruined by its lackluster performances from the two female leads, but Joe Pantoliano largely saves this film with his always great performance which probably stands as my favorite role of his. Though I'm not quite sure who the "protagonist" is supposed to be in this film and how I should feel about the ending, this creative neo-noir from the Wachowskis is tense, surprising, and greatly enjoyable.

BOUND is the Wachowskis' feature film debut, and their skillful direction elevates the film into something more than the sum of its parts. Though a neo-noir erotic crime thriller that relies heavily on melodrama and violence, the film has a certain style and cinema artistry that hints at the greatness to come with The Matrix.

'Bound' is a fun one! I've always wanted to get this watched since growing up with (the great) Jennifer Tilly via the 'Chucky' franchise and having heard this mentioned on/off down the years, so I'm glad that I have belatedly done so. It's entertaining! I knew of the love stuff and it sure does deliver, though I am surprised it only really happens at the beginning... it makes sense, I just assumed it was gonna be recurring throughout. Tilly and Gina Gershon are excellent together, very strong onscreen chemistry! Like with what I previously mentioned, I was also slightly surprised that Gershon disappears for what felt like a decent chunk of the movie; despite being literally next door. Again, works for the story but would've expected her to be there all the way. Joe Pantoliano stars behind them, ahead of a solid supporting cast. One to watch, which is interestingly The Wachowskis' directorial debut.

pretty good, the dialogue at the beginning was a bit awkward but it smoothed out a little.

“What did she do to you?” “Everything you couldn’t”

Thrilling, daring, exciting, but most of all—refreshingly new.
