The Wachowskis' ultra-modern update of classic film noir stars Jennifer Tilly as Violet, the voluptuously alluring and well-pampered mistress of mob man Ceasar (Joe Pantoliano). Violet is the kind of woman who can catch any man's eye, but she's more interested in the tough, sexy, new handywoman next door named Corky (Gina Gershon). The two quickly become lovers, and conspire to steal two million of the Mafia's money. The twists and turns that result when things don't go quite as they planned make for a steamy, thrillingly suspenseful, and impressively executed film filled with sly wit, inspired visuals, and terrific performances.

The Warshowski Brothers before The Matrix:
Two women take over the Chicago mob! They are lovers. Straight enough plot! What the Warshowski Brothers add to this movie is utter class! The camera angles, the use of sound are astounding. They take the gangster genre to a new level! Forget Goodfellas - rent this! Visually impeccable, a really good two hours of pure entertainment!
An excellent movie, where two women cleverly outdo the mafia with great cunning.
A good casting with all characters, laden with sexuality at the beginning, which quickly develops into tense and gripping action as the girls plot the theft of the mafia's money.
Great movie!
