First, great movie! I always think of it as a good alternate take on the noir femme fatale, one where both she and the protagonist get a happy ending. And it has some really wonderful shots: the drying money, the blood in the paint…
Second, about your discomfort…there was just a discussion on Reddit about “freaky” movies, with examples like 50 Shades of Gray, Secretary, and Crash. I found myself slightly offended that Bound was one of the top answers. Really felt like people who don’t distinguish between kinky sex and queer sex.
Edit: Which is just to say, I get it, the perception you might worry about. But as nonny said above, I hope you can just feel good about appreciating this one.
