Domino

Keira Knightley, Christopher Walken, Mena Suvari, Lucy Liu, Mickey Rourke

The daughter of respected actor and matinee idol Lawrence Harvey, and model-turned-socialite Sophie Wynn, Domino Harvey was born into a life of wealth and privilege -- a lifestyle that did not interes...( read more  read more... )t her. Even from her earliest years, Domino rebelled against convention and the jet set. When Domino was only eight, her beloved father passed away and her mother looked to the stability of boarding school in a misguided attempt to tame her wild child. But nothing could repress Domino's fiery nature -- not friendships, not school, not her mother's high society. Even the extraordinary excesses paraded before her during a brief stint at modeling paled in comparison to her own escapades. Not until she stumbled upon a job seminar recruiting aspiring bounty hunters was her thirst for excitement at long last quenched. To Sophie's horror, Domino not only fell in love with the job but also with her fellow adventurers, who over the years would become her family.

    An immensely thrilling actioner that packs a hard & long punch. Keira Knightley delivers her best badass action-heroine performance since "Pirates Of The Caribbean".

    a blast of 90210 culture added a solid element of welcome humor to the film, but overall the film drowned from over stylization. although i love tony scott, too much of him in this film didnt work well.

    A shockingly bad movie by Tony Scott, who can do so much better. Considering what a cast he got together for this, the result is even more tragic. As it is, Christopher Walken and Mickey Rourke make for the few highlights of the film, as well as the Beverly Hills 90210 stars maki...( read more)ng fun of their own image. The rest is a nightmare for spastics, considering that hardly an image stays in screen for longer than two seconds, often combined with a shaky cam and or a zoom. That's wanna-be cool but is just nerve-wracking. The plot isn't much to write home about either, the Jerry Springer show-scene, the drug trip or Tom Waits showing up randomly as preacher are horribly pointless and embarrassing scenes. There isn't even a lot of good action to make up for all that, the movie pretends to travel at a speed it doesn't really have. Most of the time that's not boring, but it doesn't help you giving a shit about any of the characters either. In the end you just want it to be over and shrug away the memory. Only Keira's naked is worth a raised eyebrow, but considering the sex scene happens right after they survived a car crash shows what drugs the creators must have been on. Now let's crawl out of this wreck and fool around, yes? Media and cops = stupid, bounty hunters = cool. Yeah, yeah, I get it.

    "Heads you live, tails you die."

    First of all, it's obvious that Tony Scott doesn't match the talent that his older brother Ridley has. Tony Scott does have a great movie in his credits, 'Man on Fire', some good flicks like, 'Crimson Tide', 'Enemy of the State', 'True Romance' a...( read more)nd a macho, semi-gayish tribute to Navy pilots, which will be remembered forever, 'Top Gun'. The thing that connects all of his movies together is simply put the action. Like my fellow Finn, Renny Harlin, Scott can do decent action but his star is sliding down because of his mediocre films that he has made recently.

    The story of 'Domino' is so weak and uninteresting. How in hell can a story about a feeble model turned bounty hunter get you interested? One reason could be Keira Knightley, who's always a joy to look at... except in this one. All her charm is gone, she's not convincing as the lead so all there is, is a girl who looks like a bastard child of Sarah Connor. You know... John Connor's mom.. From 'Terminator'.

    Some "surprising" plot twists are put in to the movie as a weak attempt to make the movie more interesting. But the showdown in the end, the one between Domino's gang, the mafiosos and a billionaire who got robbed is so lame. The thing that aces it all is when Keira copies Rambo by shooting a bunch of people with two assault rifles in her anorectic hands. The recoil would've thrown her on her butt within a second after pulling the trigger. But this is movie magic!

    And of course, when there's absolutely no need for a sex scene, Tony Scott puts one in. This is just a mid comment...

    The editing and the filters that worked well in 'Man on Fire', gave me a terrible headache in 'Domino'. The camera is too shaky and the bad use of music crowns it all. Bad filmmaking, that's all.

    On the positive side, I did enjoy Lucy Liu and the two guys that I remember from the crappy TV show 'Beverly Hills, 90210', Brian Austin Green and Ian Ziering. The guys brought some comedy to the movie, portraying themselves which was a nice thing. This shows that "celebs" can make fun of themselves.

    'Domino' is by far the worst Tony Scott movie I've seen. I really can't come up with any good aspects that would make the film worth a look. Well, if you're a fan of Keira and her nipples, then you might wanna waste two hours of your life. Or then skip directly to the nipple scene and get off with a 10 second effort.

    "Based on true story'.... 'sort of' plays on the opening screens- well, that's stretching it just a bit. Overall, Domino is an enjoyable action film. From my perspective, it may be one of the best performances by Keira Knightly. Mickey Rourke and Edgar Ramirez are perfectly c...( read more)ast. Scott did a fine job of directing and the cinematography is very interesting.

    This is the story of real-life Domino Harvey, who went from an upper class Hollywood lifestyle to being a down-and-dirty bounty hunter. The story presented in the film is true... sort of.

    Keira Knightley's Nonexistetent tits are the only thing this movie has going for it...
  • December 5, 2009
    Surprisingly enjoyable. A much sexier version of Dog The Bounty Hunter. It's much more fun to watch Kiera Knightley running around with a shotgun than that squat old guy with a terrible mullet. The dialogue can be silly at times and it takes a tremendous effort to take Knightley ...( read more)seriously as a hard-assed bounty hunter. But it was watchable and had some interesting characters. What kept this movie from being a 3-4 star film is it's still very flat and lacks some edginess you'd expect in a movie about bounty hunters.
