Bound
April 14, 2008This is a fab film! Its funny and clever and entertaining and unpredictable…. I watched with my partner on Friday night and was really impressed. A women, fresh out of prison moves into a building where a mob member and his glamourous girl live- cue much smouldering sexual tension between the 2 women….who eventually get it on. The glamourous girl has had enough of the mobster she describes as work and decides to rip him off…lots of shooting…and will they won’t they get away with it…A crime film with enough tension and ‘new’ characters to bring real suspense. Its really good to see some intelligent strong women characters….Although I do wonder if we could have films with women like this but straight…are the only intelligent women lesbians?
And why were we watching a film? Because we’d had an enormous row on Thursday about the fact that he never wants to do anything; never organises a night out etc. So Friday he comes home with a bottle of wine, some dinner ingredients and cooks me a lovely meal. I was really surprised as he’s not really one to think of this sort of thing. We had a great evening together. I noticed on Sunday that he’d added a bottle of wine to the shopping….Could this be standing order romance? If so; at least he’s trying!
