Christina V @christinavosilla Jul 1, 2026 Hi friend this review is for you

Rey R Aug 22, 2018 good thriller, but not as good as to be this high...

Finn W Oct 26, 2017 Sick of this bullshit! I've been watching identity movies recently, even though they all got under 40% on Rotten Tomatoes - they actually deserved 60%+. I took a risk with them because RT gives harsh reviews to most movies, apart from the following types: Postmodernist (ironic), Holocaust/Jewish, US propaganda, Feminist, Race issues etc etc. Basically, if your movie is 'politically correct', you get a high grade on RT. Stoopid Sheeple! The highest reviewed of all the identity movies was Bound, the one about lesbian criminals. It got an AMAZING 92% on RT. The only reason I can see for this rating is the lesbian feminist view expressed throughout - it definitely has nothing to do with the actual quality of the movie. I dare anyone to watch more than 15 minutes without hitting the 'STOP' button. The acting, the script, the clichéd characters, the vain attempts at being 'cool', the oh so obvious flirting, the hilarious symbolism - it's all so embarrassingly AWFUL! Two examples from the first 15 minutes are enough: 1. (Childish) Characterization: we, of course, have the Fem lesbian and the Butch lesbian. The butch one is so butch that she wears a pair of white Y-fronts. What!? HAHAHAHAHA! What is she gonna pull out of the 'Y' - a strapon? ?? 2. (Adolescent) Symbolism: As fem lesbian watches on seductively, butch lesbian handi-woman/plumber (yawn) rubs hands up and down pipes until water gushes uncontrollably all over her hands. I wonder what that's all about? Doh! If it had have been a male plumber, it would've been laughed out of the place, and deservedly so. I will try to watch/get through this drivel in the next few days, just to see if it has any redeeming qualities - ANYTHING at all that justifies a 92% review. I couldn't watch it all in one go - no way! The scary thing is that Rotten Tomatoes is the world's most popular review aggregator, meaning that this review is the common view :( Literally, the bottom line: Equality is logical and cool - stupidity, hypocrisy and '2 wrongs make a right' are not.

Kylo M Aug 26, 2017 Only a true Wachowski fan will know that they made this movie before The Matrix. The converted is very, very, VERY unlikely to know that this movie existed because the film somehow managed to be a box office bomb in spite of being filmed on a shoestring budget with only one scene in the entire movie taking place outside of the apartment. For an LGBT movie, it doesn't focus on those themes. It has lesbians but it's not about lesbians. And that's what makes the movie so refreshing. The Wachowskis' direction is really stylish in this movie and I think Joe Pantoliano is the one who truly steals the show. The movie also adds a bit of dark humour in it. For a movie with a small budget, it still managed to keep me entertained and on the edge of my seat throughout. This is likely to be the Wachowski fanboy inside me but I was satisifed with what the film had to offer by putting a twist on the "heist-gone-wrong" storyline. Sometimes, all it takes is a panicking Joe Pantoliano because of a certain big Mafia dude and all the money having gone missing leading to him constantly cursing. So, as I finally appease my lords The Wachowskis (it's a joke, don't take it too seriously) by watching the one film of theirs I had yet to cover unless you include the live-action cutscenes in the video game Enter The Matrix, what is Bound? The answer: a stylishly directed crime flick that's also a bit darkly humorous with an LGBT story with not too much unnecessary focus being put on the lesbian aspect of the movie leading to a great directorial debut from the siblings before they would truly rise to fame with The Matrix 3 years later.

Abraham P Jun 20, 2017 The best lesbian caper movie you'll ever see!

Rey S Jan 2, 2017 Not what I was expecting. This is a great film, it isn't gratuitous. Great performances and good plot twists.
