CommentsXp Best movie ever!

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

shakercoola A messy, fictionalized saga of femme-fatale ex-model, bounty-hunter, Domino Harvey - the daughter of a Hollywood film star. The jumpy camerawork and editing, and garish colours might demonstrate something about visual style but in the end it dampens the tension it so desperately seeks to create. Keira Knightley doesn't quite convince as a bounty hunter because truculence and expression of toughness is betrayed by the timidity of her mouse voice.

FountainPen Dear dear me! What a violent, ridiculous, flashy mess. A pretentious flop, trying SO hard to pull the wool over our eyes, pretending to be an important movie. Ha! As a seasoned reviewer, I am always suspicious of 10/10 ratings when a movie gains only around an average 6/10 or so on IMDb. Undoubtedly, this flick has been pushed up owing to many very high ratings. "dlahiff", for example, rates it 10/10, and has rated only ONE movie here on IMDb... titling his/her review "Tony Scott's Postmodern Masterpiece". Hmmm. Crazy! This is a silly, higgledy-piggledy film featuring several "stars", yet bringing very little of value to us. Of course, if you like flashing, flashy scenes of violence, relentless obscenities, blood, guns, and enjoy the presence of Keira with her odd accent, you may like this movie. I found it thoroughly distasteful and difficult to sit through, frankly. Don't waste your time. Because there are some even worse filme, I have rated this 2/10. #

zardoz-13 If Domino Harvey's life were half as outlandish and audacious as Tony Scott's bizarre epic extravaganza "Domino," then this late bounty hunter must have lived life out in a blaze of glory. The daughter of late British film star Laurence Harvey, Domino was a peculiar doll. She lived at the zenith of opulence and his mother Sophie relocated to Beverly Hills where she landed another husband. Naturally, Domino turned into a peg that didn't fit into a square society. She didn't grow up like a princess searching for Prince Charming. She preferred to take the road less taken and taught herself how to use an arsenal of weapons. After she got expelled from college for breaking a sorority girl's nose, she sat in on a bounty hunter's seminar and became a skip tracer. Bail bondsman Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo) and bounty hunters Ed Moseby (Mickey Rourke) and Choco (Edgar Ramirez) attempted to scam all the people who attended the seminar by slipping out the back door during a break and absconding with the $99 entrance fee. They manage to pull the wool over everybody's eyes except Domino who walked in front the car that Ed drove. The three of them became best friends forever. Afterward, everything unraveled with a vengeance that involved a group of wacky mafia teens, a group of Department of Motor Vehicle divas, and a treacherous, two-timing bail bondsman Claremont. Before everything is over, Domino and her friends find themselves the subject of a reality TV shop from the WB run by nutty producer Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken) who wants to put Domino under contract. Literally, scenarist Richard Kelly puts the plot that "Last Seduction" writer Steve Barancik and he concocted into a blender and you cannot really tell where this entertaining but convoluted nonsense is going half the time during its 127 minute careening, out of control story. The cast is top-notch with sculpturesque Keira Knightley cast as the real-life heroine who died shortly after filming was completed. You can catch a glimpse of the real Domino in the end credits.

LeonLouisRicci There are Two Types of People that Should See this Tony Scott Film. Those that want to Know Why So Many Hate His Unrestrained, Hyper-Kinetic Style, and Those that Love this Troubled Soul and Recognize a Man at Play, Always Experimenting with the Limits of His Art. If the Shaky Camera has a God it is Tony Scott. But Most of the "Directors" in the So Called Found Footage Films are Hacks and Untalented Exploiters of the Style and Possess Very Little Creativity or Actual Artistic Talent. The Tony Scott Style is Often Imitated but Rarely is it Attractive. They have Turned an Artistic Style Into a Laughable Gimmick.This is Probably the Peak of the Director's Experimental Period as there is Nary a Scene that doesn't Pulsate with Energy and Edginess. In Fact, it is So Overwhelming that it Dominates "Domino" to the Exclusivity of Everything Else. "Based on a Real Person...Sort of."The Movie is Chocked Full of Nutty Characters with Nutty Actors but Even the Charisma of a Mickey Rourke or a Christopher Walken are Bread in the Tony Scott Toaster. The Real Life Domino, Played by Keira Knightley becomes a Virtual Non-Entity and can Barely Maintain a Screen Presence with the Director, and She is In Almost Every Scene, just So Much Paint on the Tony Scott Canvas of the Absurd.There is So Much to Love and So Much to Hate on the Screen that it is Nothing if Not Evocative and Provocative. So Line Up Here or Line Up Over There and Say What You Will. The Director was an Artist in a World of Motion Picture Making Pretenders. An Inconsistent Artist, but What Artist Isn't, and Whose Best Work, Sadly, was Yet to Come.
