Leave your thoughts about Bound.
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyStylish, nicely written and filled with tension. An exceptional piece of filmmaking. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleIt's a complex, satisfying piece of entertainment, a succession of unexpected, outrageous scenes. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt's pure cinema, spread over several genres. It's a caper movie, a gangster movie, a sex movie and a slapstick comedy. |
| Dallas ObserverJimmy FowlerThe writing-directing team of brothers Larry and Andi Wachowski has chosen as its filmmaking debut a tightly constructed, stylishly (but rarely self-consciously) executed, gripping little noir parable that couldn't be more firmly grounded in American movie tradition if the filmmakers created a wacky romantic farce about mismatched paramours. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliFrom the first scene, however, it's obvious that the writing/directing team of Andy and Larry Wachowski are aiming for something considerably higher than rudimentary titillation. And, by taking chances and twisting conventions, they have hit paydirt. |
| USA TodayMike ClarkThe true pleasures of Bound lie in the Wachowskis' inventive updated take on film noir traditions, sensuously realized by cinematographer Bill Pope ("Clueless"). |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonI was on the edge of my seat most of the time. |
| Independent (UK)Ryan GilbeyBound is modern noir, with the obligatory iconography and a plot you need a flashlight to find your way out of. But it's hard to put your faith in film-makers whose Year Zero is Blood Simple. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey[VIDEO ESSAY] Revered in lesbian circles for its hat-tips to the milieu's authenticity, "Bound" is a neo-noir that earns every ratchet click of tension is draws from its audience - body and soul. |
| San Francisco ExaminerBarry WaltersThe Wachowski brothers are to be applauded for a film that is also nearly as stylishly funny as it is sexy and fast-paced. |
