Before twisting everyone’s mind with The Matrix, the Wachowskis debuted as directors with this sensual neo-noir. Tilly and Gershon know exactly what to do with the hard-boiled plot full of betrayal and twists, changing genre as easily as they change clothes. Ex-con and tough plumber Corky (Gina Gershon) falls for gangster’s moll Violet (Jennifer Tilly) and together they try to steal two million dollars from Violet's dangerous boyfriend, Caesar.
