Lana and Lilly Wachowski are most known for the “Matrix” franchise of science-fiction action flicks, but my favorite Wachowski film is still their first — the tragically underseen neo-noir thriller “Bound.” Although a hit at film festivals, “Bound” showed for all of three weeks in the United States. In the grand scheme of things, it served to put the Wachowskis on the proverbial motion-picture map as young, talented directors. But “Bound” succeeds on so many levels, it’s worthy of a second (and even a third) look.
