Bound (1996). This stylish debut from the Wachowski Brothers hinted of film noir with stylish flair. A crime drama with a simple twist, some old school conservatives might find the sexual overtones offensive, but for the rest it was a treat. The acting was solid, with the cast's main trio each giving standout performances. The direction was flat out stupendous, creating a cool atmosphere upon which to paint their wares. The camera work was equally adept, utilizing great slo-mo and POV angles to flaunt its creative muscle. The story was simple, effective , entertaining, and ultimately satisfying. This slick little number gives purchase to the talent that was to become the Matrix trilogy. Merci beaucoup.
