Bound

I always prowl the cheapie DVD selection in most stores on the off chance that I’ll find something I have to have. More often than not, I don’t find anything. But yesterday, I scored the widescreen version of Bound in Comp USA yesterday for $10.

As the story goes, when the Wachowski Brothers first tried to sell The Matrix to the studio with themselves as the Directors, the studio questioned their direction ability and recommended that they actually make a movie first before they come back. Bound is the result. <disclaimer> I read the above some time ago but in a quickie internet search I’ve failed to find a reference so it may or may not be true.</disclaimer> Either way, it is an amazing first effort.

If you haven’t seen it, and you’re in the mood for a thriller, this is your next rental.
(It’s not the kind of movie that’s kid safe.)
