Movie: Bound

Bound (1996) stars Gina Gershon, Jennifer Tilly, and Joe Pantoliano. It is a noir film about stealing from the mob, but with a twist. All previous mobster movies have been with a distinctly manly theme. This film is about two women. Violet, the girlfriend of Caeser, the money launderer, falls for Corky, the ex-con. Together Violet and Corky plan to steal the money Caeser and his business associates.

The Wachowski Brothers wrote, directed, and produced this film. They have a distinct style of filming. During this film, you may notice there are very few colors used. Most things are black, white or red. Green is thrown in when the money is involved.
