73 Bound

Corky, a tough female ex con and her lover Violet concoct a scheme to steal millions of stashed mob money and pin the blame on Violet's crooked boyfriend Caeser.
"When you get tired of Cagney and Lacey, find me."

Probably Joe Pantoliano best performance. Sure he was great in the matrix but he just steals the show in this one. When you are competing with 2 beautiful women that are planning a heist against the mob and they are lesbians...and and you steal the show your good. Joe is great in this role. I was disappointed in this movie because Jennifer Tilly and Gina Gershon had really poor lines. Things like "I'm not apologizing for what I did. I'm apologizing for what I didn't do." That coupled with really cliche' forced performances is a gargantuan let down. The could have done quiet a bit more to make there dialogue and performances a little more believable. there are times when they do shine but this movie is on my list strictly for Joe's performance.
