Overly-flashy, but well written.
posted on 16 Aug 2009stars: Keira Knightly, Edgar Ramirez, Mickey Rourke, Monique, Delroy Lindo, Christopher Walken, Lucy Liu, Jerry Springer, Tom Waitts and others.This is a really well written movie. It obviously deals with Domino Harvey, a nice girl who becomes a bounty hunter. A sleazy TV producer (Walken) decides to make a reality show out of their lives and it goes into a big confusing adventure. In order to get the whole plot, you need to see the entire film. My only problems with the film are the direction at times gets too jumpy and annoying and the lackluster ending to the film. I do recommend it though, even though parts did annoy me.My rating- 2 1/2 out of 4 stars. rated R for pervasive strong language, sexuality and nudity, some drug content and violence. 118 mins.
a disappointment
posted on 12 Aug 2009After the brilliance of Man On Fire, Tony Scott really could have pulled the rabbit out of the hat with another super yet dark action movie. However the ingenious behind Top Gun has never been like that. Unlike his brother Ridley, Tny makes less epic adventures and more action thrillers e.g. Spy Game, Crimson Tide, Man On Fire. These movies are not bank breakers. But these movies all have very skilled actors in them: Gene Hackman, Denzel Washington, Robert Redford etc. Now comes along Domino. The idea is a good one, a set of bounty hunters get picked up by a TV director (Walken). And of cause Domino being a woman must be a woman. But the casting of British FHM number one babe Keira Knightly was undoubtedly a mistake. Keira has cemented herself into the young woman role, with Pirates of the Caribbean, The Hole and more recently, earning an Academy Award Nomination for Pride And Prejudice. But she is not best suited to acting as a tough, weapon ready lass, who kills ruthlessly. Micky Rourke definitely is, he over showed his brilliance in the art of killing in the 2004 comic book smash Sin City. Michelle Rodriguez would have been a far better choice for the role of Domino, she's still good looking and has come over as the hardened girl, in such movies as SWAT. Not as good as Man On Fire tony.
Technically not even a movie
posted on 06 Aug 2009Definitely Scott's worst movie to date.Imagine a horrible and violent reality show void of content, and then stretch that show out over two hours. This vague attempt at a "movie" plays more like such a disastrous show, or a very extended music video.This production is exploitative in every way you can imagine. It's just a miserable excuse for Scott to make something look and feel "stylish" and "cool", while the dialogue and plot is absolute drivel.A complete waste of talent, money and your time. It's over-explaining itself in every little detail, and comes across as stupid and insulting.Stay away!
For some people life just flickers
posted on 06 Aug 2009After watching this movie, i felt pretty numb for some time. The longest uninterrupted take in Domino lasts about 3 seconds, and that's LOOONG and necessitates the use of heavy profanity – like they are afraid otherwise people might fall asleep. I just wondered for what kind of an audience this movie is intended. Probably for a very young one who think tattoos are exciting. I also wondered if the viewers are supposed or required to be under the influence of drugs while watching.Whatever the idea behind the very nervous – albeit accomplished – style, it did not make Domino particularly attractive to me. I remember those old movie houses projecting old, scratched flicks, the film sometimes tearing, getting stuck or dissolving into bubbles. All these accidental effects are created artificially in this movie, it flickers on purpose – for no purpose. The story meanders and is pedestrian, the plot effects are cheap – hence the „glossing over" with cusswords, I suspect. The fact hat the main character represents a real person makes matters worse (hey, they even show a few short excerpts of the original Manchurian Candidate, starring the main character's dad, even pretending this has some meaning). Domino was, let's face it, a nobody, her real life story is sad but hardly differs from millions of others and does not offer much for making a movie. It is remarkable that all the actions are completely „externalised" and that motive and the background of Domino remain unexplored.Not everything is entirely bad. The movie boasts a whole array of veteran stars: Christopher Walken and Dabney Coleman are always good, Jacqueline Bisset and Mickey Rourke surprised me positively, Delroy Lindo is smug and not wasted. And people who like watching Tom Waits will not be disappointed, either. The greatest treat is Mo'Nique, her talk show scenes are, if you bear the usual chopping up of scenes, by far the most entertaining. She plays a „blactino-American". Trying to emulate her linguistic talent, I would call this movie a „Soderino-American".Is it possible that there are people who see the real world the way Domino was filmed and edited? This thought just came to me. Impossible it is not, is it?
Bounty hunters rocks
posted on 29 Jul 2009It is a story of a bounty hunter whose her destiny was always life. It's not just like that, "Domino" did an excellent performance and experience on how and why a girl like domino have the will and the guts to become a bounty hunter. in the movie you experienced that and you will know WHY.The movie has a great directing and providing camera's angles. It has a wonderful touches which make it an interesting to watch without getting bored.Domino, is a bounty hunter, strong girl, a girl who has the will and the guts, she has the good and the bad girl inside of her. She's brave.Domino, is a great well done movie, strong scenes which it's enjoyable, strong directing, good music that fit the film. and there's no bad but a good plot and scenario of course with a strong language.I recommended it...Must a see movie.
Style over substance
posted on 19 Jul 2009The only reason I finished this movie was because of the model turned bounty hunter angle. This should have been fascinating. Unfortunately, Tony Scott had to keep beating the viewer over the head with the overdone zooms, cuts, & bizarre visuals and audio. Like David Lynch on one of his lesser movies, the viewer can never escape the fact that this is a "Tony Scott" film. Decently acted with the exception of Tom Wait's pitiful and mercifully brief appearance. The actor who plays Choco is very interesting. Rourke and Knightly are both good, although nothing like character depth is truly achieved. Walken adds his usual odd brand of adrenaline in his scenes. With all the cinematic histrionics, this was tedious to sit through. I felt like throwing up my hands and saying "Just tell the darn story!"
Best movie this year, go see the movie now
posted on 17 Jul 2009The movie is an true masterpiece, every single moment of the film is exiting. The plot is really good, and the fact that it is based on a true story does it even better. It is a really interesting story that give you a lot to think about. You will laugh and you will cry during, this one of a decade movie. Keira Knightley is so fabulous and heavenly beautiful and so is the rest of the crew to. The characters and the surroundings are amazing, and there is not a dead second in this movie. This is the best action movie this year, even better than the also great "Sin city".Go see the movie now, I will definitely see it on one more time on cinema.
Words fail me
posted on 15 Jul 2009In order to express my impressions of Domino, the film, I will need to resort to a certain four letter word that describes what two people generally get up to when they are feeling especially amorous. Since the programmers at the IMDb will not allow me to do this, I am going to substitute the word penguin. So for the duration of the review, when I make use of the word penguin, I am really referring to something that, under the best circumstances, is known to be incredibly pleasant, satisfying, even enthralling. Quite the opposite of how the film turned out, in other words. Anyway, I should pretend to be surprised that the director admitting to having shot a frame of this mess is Tony Scott, the same man who gave us such drivel as Top Gun and Days Of Thunder, those veritable extensions to the already out of control ego belonging to Tom Cruise. But when you get past the grating camera-work, the oppressive music, and the wooden acting, what you are left with is essentially a two-hour music video.The acting is the most obviously misguided element of the film. When she is cast well, Keira Knightley can keep the viewer captivated with a performance that is by equal turns bitchy and endearing. Unfortunately, the role of Domino Harvey goes so far beyond her grasp that one could be forgiven for thinking this was her debut performance, not the latest entry in a career spanning twelve years. Adding to the problem is that Knightley is meant to be the titular character. The focus is meant to entirely be upon her. That she is acted right out of frame by the two men she shares most of her screen time with is a massive failing for the film. Granted, there are few actors who can share the frame with Mickey Rourke and not be totally overwhelmed by him, but given the threadbare script and poor direction, it is hard to give Knightley sole ownership of the blame. A complaint I often use with films like these is that we know nothing about the characters at the beginning, and even less by the end. Never has such a complaint fit the bill so well.Not helping matters is the indecision regarding whether to fictionalise Harvey's life or make a literal biography. The addition of a ridiculous subplot with a reality show featuring Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green following Harvey and her cohorts on business trips swings the film so far into the realm of fiction it almost becomes embarrassing. After their performances in another series I will not glorify by mentioning here, I never expected to feel sympathy for those two, but bad film-making can do some strange things. Then the film tries to share details of Harvey's life in order to explain why she hunts people down for a living in the film's present time. In simpler language, Domino the film tries to have it both ways with Domino the real human being, and ends up failing at both. Balancing the need of the film to intrigue the viewer using sordid details with the need to avoid lawsuits could not have been easy, and Domino is elegant proof that such juggling should not be attempted by a director as mediocre as Tony Scott.There is a saying among architects that applies, albeit in different wording, to storytelling. The most ornate window fixings, columns, and doors will not help you if your foundations are shoddy. In Domino, Scott takes this a step further, and quite apparently does not even bother trying to construct foundations at all. Sure, the sequences of Domino giving her marks a lapdance or firing guns capture the immediate attention, even if the former raises the question of what bounty hunter in their right mind would do that. The problem is that once the initial fascination birthed in violence fades, the complete and utter lack of substance in the story shines through for all to see. Keith Phipps asks the question of whether Tony Scott was trying to make a film for chimpanzees, but this is insulting both to humans and chimpanzees. Since the two creatures are only different by a handful of percentage points at the DNA level, it is not hard to imagine a chimpanzee seeing this and thinking it was a complete and utter cluster-penguin.You have also read that Tony Scott cast a mob of has-beens and icons from trash TV. In the hands of a competent director such as Alex Cox or Jay Chandrasekhar, this would result in an absurd comedy of extreme situations. One where the barrier between reality and low-grade hallucination becomes questionable, or even non-existent. Tony Scott is utterly incapable of blurring the distinction. Consequently, instead of making a comedy of unreality, he creates a string of pictures and noises that give the discerning viewer a headache as they frequently fail to make sense. The result is a film that possesses none of even the unintentional amusing qualities present in Top Gun or Days Of Thunder. Thus, Scott violates the one absolutely inviolate rule of film-making. You can make a good film, you can make a bad film, but heaven's chorus of angels will not help you if you make a completely and utterly boring film. During my viewing of Domino, I found the list of ingredients used in making the dark silver paint I use in order to colour the armour on some of my models more fascinating.Hence, I gave Domino a two out of ten. Money can be replaced, as can display units or snack food. But take this as a warning: you will never get the two hours back.
It got a lot of thrills!
posted on 15 Jul 2009The life and times of bounty hunter Domino Harvey(Keira Knightly) is played out in this movie. It appears that she was definitely no-nonsense. At a young age the American Quarter is the ticket to her destiny as a professional bounty hunter. A tomboy from the beginning, hurling those nunchukus. Moving to the West Coast of the U.S.A., she really showed herself she's no shrinking violet. In college she took care of that sorority leader when she called Domino's breasts "mosquito bites". Domino wasn't self-conscious. When she struck out at college, she went into bounty hunting, something she always wanting to do. Everything was going fine, until double-crossing and manipulation hampered the business. Domino had nothing to hide, yet she wasn't afraid much of anything. The money heist from the armored car was nothing more than mob money. And everyone in the underworld took out each other, all because of some misinformation. Some of the scenes in the movie was mostly fun, but the life of Domino Harvey remains in the hearts of bounty hunters everywhere. RIP DOMINO HARVEY! Rating 3 out of 5 stars!
Domino- Confusing at First, but a Thrill Ride from Start to Finish....
posted on 13 Jul 2009When I first heard about it, I was pretty sure Domino was going to be a drama movie. I mean, look at it: it's a biography movie, it tells the story of a troubled girl, and it has lots of great actors, something I've seen a lot in dramatic biographies. It was never this good to be wrong. Domino is action-packed, a thrill ride from start to finish. The movie is well directed and also well paced. Keira Knightley blew me off as Domino Harvey. She brought this character to life with such perfection. She really made me think better about her, because I'm pretty convinced now that she's a great actress. Mickey Rourke was good, although disappointing compared to his role in Sin City. Ramirez was great, for me the perfect bounty hunter. Christopher Walken didn't surprise me. He was good, but definitely not perfect. The action scenes were really well made, frenetic and strange, to make the audience startled. Still, there were some problems. The story was pretty confusing at first, the whole movie was confused at first. There was a scene (which has been talked over in the message boards of this movie) that was totally out of place, which spoiled some of the fun for me. But this won't affect your trip. Domino is a great incursion into the world of biographies. If only they were all like this.....-------8.5/10
Not as bad as you'd think, but certainly disappointing
posted on 11 Jul 2009I saw the trailer for Domino and I was highly anticipating it. Then, Domino was panned left and right when it came out, and having all of that criticism in mind, I saw the movie with very low expectations. Well it was better than I thought it would be, but it was nowhere near my initial expectations for the flick.Domino could have been absolutely fantastic. Richard Kelly is a gifted screenwriter, and his script for Domino is actually one of the higher points. It's not as good as Donnie Darko's script, but it's pretty sharp. Tony Scott, on the other hand, doesn't quite serve as an effective director. The visual style looked good in the trailer, maybe, but overblown into two hours of film is WAY too much. I found it obnoxious when a character said something like "I lost my toe", and then some subtitles came up that said the same thing, yet flashily and annoyingly. Also, the flashiness and jittery camera is extremely annoying and just gives the film an MTV-style look that will most likely look extremely dated in a few years.The soundtrack was another gripe. Most of the time it was horrendous rap music. And the various pop-culture references will most likely hold nothing to people in the coming years. On the upside, Kiera Knightly and Christopher Walken add some life to this over-blown movie, but it's not enough.In the end, Domino is a way overdone movie that could have been fantastic with a better director and if it maybe didn't try too damn hard. But the script and performances do their best to make this an entertaining, if ultimately forgettable, ride.
A Bad Acid Trip
posted on 11 Jul 20091 out of 10 is too good a rating for this movie.A friend and I got free tickets to this mess and after giving it about 20 minutes, we walked out. I pity anyone who had to sit close to the screen and hope they are okay today. I don't know how anyone's brain could handle 90 minutes of the assault of the images and sounds that blasted out from the screen. Annoying grainy visuals, schizophrenic editing, obnoxiously loud sound and excessive foul language and violence are used, I guess, to emphasize Domino's gritty life. But no one's life is so one-dimensional and in any genre the viewer needs to connect to the humanity of a character to feel engaged. The style of Domino was too overwhelmingly brutal that I didn't care to find out if that happens in this movie.Style over substance is boring.
Excess of style.
posted on 09 Jul 2009Sometimes simplicity is the key. It's good if there is a spark that catches the eye and makes the movie more appealing, but everything is good within a limit. Tony Scott clearly exaggerated with his constant changing camera angle shootings, flashing scenes and black and white flashbacks. These effects, instead of coming 'here and there' as an addition, are appearing every couple of minutes which is more than irritating.Domino is shot exactly the same as 'Man on Fire'. Same flashing scenes and same black and white flashbacks. But unlike Domino, when I saw 'Man on Fire' I didn't quite noticed those effects. The reason I wasn't 'appreciating' the style it's because I was so much annoyed with the dumb plot. In contrast to 'Man on Fire', Domino has a decent story that makes sense ( except of the poor ending), but it's ruined by it's style. Watching Domino I recalled that I already saw somewhere those effects before...Another thing that annoyed me in this movie, is the unnecessary philosophy and unnecessary drama brought into. I'm talking about the 50/50 chance coin tossing of staying alive or being dead, and showing us things that could have happened but didn't happen after all. This doesn't make Domino any smarter.Some good points to this film are the superb cast and most of the storyline. Despite this I can't really recommend it.
Domino was Brilliant
posted on 05 Jul 2009This movie was brilliant. Keira Knightly was cast beautifully and did an excellent job portraying Domino Harvey. Tony's directing was incredible and the storyline kept you thinking and interested. This movie was one of the best movies I have seen all year. It was especially interesting to have been based on a true story and person. The action and blood thirst held my interest as well as my companions' who didn't know anything about the movie beforehand.I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoyed 'Man on Fire', Kill Bill or Pulp Fiction for a variety of reasons. The hardcore reality, the suspense, the dialog, the action, the directing, and the way it is all told makes Domino a great film. See for yourselves...
Pouring a boiling chilli broth in your eyes would be more fun.
posted on 03 Jul 2009The worst kind of movie. A movie so bad, it doesn't make you laugh, it makes you cry. It makes you crawl up the foetal position and die.Tony Scott's desecration to cinematic history features such appealing and diverse elements as:- self indulgent 10 minute credits at the beginning of the film- motion sickness, ebola and aids inducing editing- character development so shallow, it makes the ipod nano lying down look like everest.- 1 gratuitous and illogical sex scene (featuring a lot of camera spinning, as if the sight of keira knightly's emaciated body wasn't enough to make you regurgitate your $20 popcorn and small coke).- a soundtrack to make fran drescer reciting the phone book seem like an appealing prospect.This movie is once in a lifetime. I hope. Worst movie of my entire life. I chewed off both my legs in the process of watching this movie, just to keep from killing everybody else in the cinema. Tony Scott - you owe me a pair of legs!
I would call it 'Midnight Run' meets 'Reservoir Dogs'.
posted on 01 Jul 2009'Domino' is the story about Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley), Beverly Hills brat and former model turned bounty hunter. This is loosely based upon the real-life events of Domino Harvey prior to her death on June 27, 2005. Being unsatisfied with the Beverly Hills lifestyle and wanting "to have fun", Domino decides to go to a bounty hunter seminar. Under the tutelage of her friend and mentor Ed (Mickey Rourke), Domino becomes on of LA's most successful bounty hunters.This is not a documentary about the life of Domino Harvey. This is an action-packed thrill a minute. So much so that it is pretty unbelievable at times. I hate to say it, but I seriously doubt most of this ever happens. It is just a movie. I would call it 'Midnight Run' meets 'Reservoir Dogs'.I thought everyone in this film did an awesome job. I do wish we had more of Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken). If you want to see a movie about one tough chic, go see 'Domino'.
Oh, God, my eyes are bleeding.
posted on 29 Jun 2009We went to see a free screening of this film hoping for an interesting action movie about bounty hunters, we were however prepared to be massively disappointed by it. Our preparations were in vain. NOTHING IS AS BAD AS THIS MOVIE. '"Manos" The Hands of Fate' is the only film even remotely in the same category. "Battlefield Earth" is a feel good romp in comparison. If you didn't have epileptic seizures before this film, after wards you surely will. Besides the disjointed narrative, and the AWFUL writing, this film has the worst cinematography ever. I realize that TONY SCOTT fans will probably be gushing about how great this film is, all three of them, but it's not.And the acting. Oh, sweet mother of mercy, it's awful. They say that every actor has a bad film in his past. Well Keira, Lucy, Edgar and Delroy, This movie equals ten bad flicks. Mickey, you should know better. I will not give away plot points for the few of you silly enough to disregard this warning and go see it, or infect others with its craptacularness. Thank you, in advance for heeding the warning, if you don't, well, you can't say we didn't warn you.
Come on, it wasn't that bad.
posted on 27 Jun 2009OK, so Domino, which I also got to see for free, was hardly an Oscar worthy flick. With out a doubt, one of the most random, and honestly poorly edited films I've seen recently. Multiple scenes were completely unnecessary (pool party?) while others just left a bad taste in my mouth. Some off the stuff Knightly does in this film honestly made me feel guilty for watching (lap dance?, random desert sex!?). The camera work was terrible, and Knightly did an amazing job hitting one note over the course of the entire flick. For all this though, there were some shinning moments. The action for the most part was exciting, gritty, and violent to a level I really didn't expect. Mickey Rourke was excellent as a violent bounty hunter. Anyone who saw Sin City should already have an understanding of his character in Domino (although rather tuned down). While the plot was basically crap, the concept was excellent, and the addition of reality TV crew added some slight social commentary and quite a bit of humor. But of course, every time Christopher Walken opens his mouth, I had to laugh. The man no longer acts, but just being Walken is more than enough for me.
Domino
posted on 25 Jun 2009A hyperkinetic explosion of attitude and fun, Domino delivers pure guilty-pleasure entertainment with some very witty dialogue and plenty of screen filling action and style. The title character, Domino Harvey, played expertly with gritty yet sexy demeanor by Keira Knightley, is a young woman, unsatisfied by her prestigious and posh lifestyle as a rich model in Los Angeles, CA, who becomes a skilled bounty hunter. The film, in fact, is based very loosely on the story of a real woman. Domino's fast-paced, manically edited style is artfully crafted and completely over-the-top. It's full of eye candy and vibrant with movement, sound and color. Knightley is perfectly cast and shows her range as being limitless. It is truly hard to believe that this is the same actress that was just in Pride & Prejudice. Perhaps that duality is what keeps her movies so fresh and attention-grabbing. Knightley shares the screen with some wonderful supporting characters acted by Mickey Rourke, Edgar Ramirez, Mo'Nique, Christopher Walken and Lucy Liu, and the side-splittingly hilarious duo of Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green (from television's Beverly Hills 90210) playing themselves. You'd be hard pressed to find a more entertaining, funny and original action/drama/comedy film out there today.
Vapid direction, poor script, inauthentic performances (review may be considered to contain slight spoilers)
posted on 20 Aug 2009The fact that this film got made at all is a testament to the fact that in Hollywood, talent is not often as important as who you know and what your previous box office track record has been. The script is bad. If I were some newbie who presented a script like that to an agency, I'd get verbally lacerated, they'd want to know who I thought I was offering them a piece of crap like that. Tony Scott's direction is also bad, but not as annoying as it was in Man on Fire. I don't know if this is because there were less cuts or because I just did not notice them, but since the tone of the film is vaguely psychedelic, the hyperactive edits don't seem so out of place. If either the script or the direction had been good, it would have improved upon the other. Whatever talent any actor has here is wasted. A better director would have drawn out better performances. The script gives everyone little on which to go. Characterization is reduced to caricature-zation.Mickey Rourke comes off as more authentic than anyone else of the main characters, but he is just playing a variation on the sleazebags he usually plays.Edgar Ramirez reminds me of Brad Armpit circa Legends of the Fall- "filmy" and looking in perpetual need of a bath. In contrast to Keira's freshly scrubbed face, lovingly bathed in light so strong that one can see the downy peach fuzz on her cheeks in a few scenes, she and Ramirez have no explicable reason to connect other than that old standby, Because the Plot Requires It. As for Knightley, I know she wanted to do this role to dispel her (alleged) "English Rose" image, but I think this film will have the opposite of that intended effect. She is about as intimidating as a bitchy old grandmother. Being tough is not about smacking gum and smoking cigarettes, or swearing and leering and pouting and pretending to be annoyed or angry with people. Knightley said in an interview with TeenHollywood.com and one with Rolling Stone, that the performance was not based on Harvey, but rather on her best mate, who was always getting into trouble at school, i.e., a bratty teenager, which is exactly what she comes off as. And according to an interview with her in the New York Post, Tony Scott's direction to her simply consisted of "Tony was always shouting, 'Come on, Keira. Nasty bitch! Nasty, nasty bitch!'" She also did not get to spend the time doing the physical training and weapons training that she needed. And the evidence is on the screen. The best film I have seen so far this year is Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven. There has been criticism about its historical inaccuracies. But the film still rings true. Domino, by contrast, and in particular Knightley's performance, doesn't ring true regardless of whether it's based in fact or not. The narration is clunky. If it were to be retained at all, it should have been cut in half. Wasn't it Clint Eastwood who said that one should never explain what one can suggest? The coin toss motif is awkward. "I am a bounty hunter" is repeated several times, assuring us that she is not in fact yet a bounty hunter. (Don't tell us, show us. If you are what you say you are, we'll know it, you don't have to keep telling us.) There is an interesting religious aspect to the film, the business about man being created in the image of God, the impact that going to a church as a child made on her, the theophany in the desert, all of that would be interesting in a film that was better and more coherent. Finally, there is the matter that the film is too busy to develop an iconic image, which is something every famous and successful film has. The head spin in The Exorcist. Indiana Jones running away from the giant ball. The little child standing at the doorway in Close Encounters. Think of films old and recent, and the most classic are those that have an image which sums up the spirit of the film. When I opened the entertainment section to the Houston Chronicle for October 14, there was a large color photo of Keira as Domino with a sawed off shotgun and bullets around her chest, a low-angle shot with BAIL BONDS in the background that could have easily been used in the film as some sort of definitive shot. I never ever saw a sequence that used that shot. Why not?
