A female-led gangster film that brings to mind "Thelma & Louise," yet surpasses it in narrative sophistication. It’s packed with twists, expertly timed tension, and consistently keeps the viewer hooked.

Directed by the Wachowski sisters, "Bound" is a tightly woven crime thriller with a queer twist. The pacing is sharp, the tension builds effectively, and while the relationship at the heart of the story is same-sex, the film focuses more on the mechanics of the heist rather than the romance. Gina Gershon delivers a standout performance as the smart, resilient, and fearless Corky.

Debut cinematográfico de las Wachowski, donde ya podíamos percibir la ambición, la grandeza y sobre todo las estupendas ideas visuales que explotaron al máximo en "Matrix".

Es un thriller genérico (si concedemos que no era tan común ver una relación lésbica tan protagónica) con un soberbio manejo del suspenso, un relato disperso pero nunca desconcertante, un trío protagónico a puro fuego (Tilly, Gershon y Pantoliano) y una puesta en escena exquisita.

Es genial ver cómo inician algunos artistas, encontrar las raíces de lo que vendría. El único film "real" de las Wachowski es un oro puro.
