Bound (1996)

The Wachowskis' remarkable stage debut is a revisionist take on the film noir of the 1940s. Share The Postman Always Rings Twice, Sin City (a gritty detective comic book that inspired the look of the film), and Thelma & Louise (certainly a decisive influence) related developer excellent atmosphere Moody black at first, but with a unique modern edge.

Jennifer Tilly plays Violet, a lover of a gangster who wants out of life crowd. Live action Betty Boop (all soft curves and a sweet voice and sighed), Violet may seem just another incarnation of the beautiful but weak brunette Tilly has played before (like his Oscar-nominated role in Bullets Over Broadway). But it seems that Violet is smarter and more difficult than it gives - and meets his match with Corky (Gina Gershon), a sexy, sapphic ex-prisoner next door. Joe Pantoliano rounds impeccable cast as Caesar, the boy destined to scapegoat brutal and Corky and Violet is finally a plan to steal mob money. It is the plan works, and if the two can trust each other enough to see through it, was so perfectly crisp, fill in the neo-noir, which respects the genre, but turning it upside down.
