Editorial Review:

Destined for cult status, this provocative thriller offers a grab bag of genres (gangster movie, comedy, sexy romance, crime caper) and tops it all off with steamy passion between lesbian ex-con Corky (Gina Gershon) and a not-so-ditzy gun moll named Violet (Jennifer Tilly), who meets Corky and immediately tires of her mobster boyfriend (Joe Pantoliano). Desperate to break away from the Mob's influence and live happily ever after, the daring dames hatch a plot to steal $2 million of Mafia money. Their scheme runs into a series of escalating complications, until their very survival depends on split-second timing and criminal ingenuity. Simultaneously violent, funny and suspenseful, Boundis sure to test your tolerance for bloodshed but the film is crafted with such undeniable skill that several critics(including Roger Ebert) placed it on their top-10 lists for 1996. --Jeff Shannon

• SOOOOO BAD!!!!
  If I could give this 0 stars I would. I seriously can't understand why anyone would give this 5 stars! Ok fine, it's good to see a mainstream lesbian film but the main characters are just plain annoying and the plot is ridiculous. I was cringing the whole way through.

• A considerable disappointment
  I found this film a major disappointment. The plot seemed hackneyed and the sexual motif contrived and unnecessary. It seems a low budget enterprise and I cannot imagine how anybody could consider this outstanding, for any given year. And why on earth is it being considered an example of film noir? It has nothing representative of that genre either in style, theme or lighting. Film noir was essentially typical of the B-feature gangster movies of the 40's and early 50's and with some notable exceptions has... more info

• oh my
  this is one of the worst movies I ever saw. Bad actors, stupid story, predictable from the start. If there was something good, sorry I didn't get it.
