Critics Reviews
| Jul 28, 2008TotalFilm
Verdict: It's a snappy, stylish black comedy/thriller in the Cohen Bros/Tarantino mould.
Indeed, Bound looks like it was a lot of fun for all concerned, and hopefully marks the beginnings of a slick and impressive Wachowski Brothers film-making partnership.

Conclusion: Bound is an instant cult-classic that fans will watch multiple times; the DVD, though disappointing in the audio/visual departments, is worth buying for the commentary alone.
Production design, cinematography, and sly performances make Bound a must-see.

But "Bound" has none of the wit or cleverness or compelling characters or street smarts of those filmmakers' better movies.
The result is an occasionally eye-catching but superficial and extremely unpleasant film, and one wonders if it wouldn't have been better if Larry and Andy Wachowski had opted to apply their heavy-handed, razzle-dazzle directing approach to a script written by someone else.

Bound" could have been similarly absurd.
Sexy, funny, fast-paced film is "Bound' to please
The Wachowski brothers are to be applauded for a film that is also nearly as stylishly funny as it is sexy and fast-paced.

The handling of narrative in ``Bound'' is impressive in itself.
The menace and sardonic wit that characterize ``Bound'' are illustrated in that opening.
Gershon and Tilley are terrific.
