The already larger-than-life story of Domino Harvey, a former Ford model turned bounty hunter, takes on mythological proportions in Tony Scott's (TRUE ROMANCE, MAN ON FIRE) fast-paced action thriller. Unfolding in a non-linear fashion as a bloodied Domino (Kiera Knightley) is interrogated by iron-faced Officer Taryn Miles (Lucy Liu), the film traces the trajectory of Domino's tumultuous life. Beginning with the death of her beloved father, the actor Laurence Harvey (THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE), Domino develops into a hard-nosed, scrappy young woman who trains with nunchucks beside her mother's l... uxurious pool and responds violently to anyone who crosses her. Bored with the runway and the glamorous LA life, Domino shows up for a bounty-hunter seminar. Catching the teachers of the seminar as they try to cut and run with the proceeds, she manages to win their respect and joins their team. This consists of Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke), the tough-as-nails leader and Domino's surrogate father, and Choco (Edgar Ramirez), an impulsive Venezuelan who harbours a not-so-secret love for Domino. The three form a kind of family, working under Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo), who plays Charlie to their three angels. For a time they are unstoppable, even agreeing to let the slimy Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken) produce a reality-TV show about them, which is hilariously hosted by Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green (BEVERLY HILLS 90210). But when Claremont orchestrates a complicated inside job in order to raise the money for his granddaughter's doctor bills, the precarious balance within the trio is disturbed. Tom Waits stands out in a cameo as a wise wanderer who advises the lost bounty hunters.

really awful
I've been trying to work out what it is that I dislike about this film and believe it or not, its not that easy. This film has all of the right ingredients to be great - a kick-ass hero played by a cute actress in the prime of her career supported by an excellent ensemble cast which includes uber-cool veterans Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken. So where could it possibly go wrong? Well, the simple answer is - everywhere. The script is dire, the acting is second rate and it feels like you're being told 'this film is cool' unconvincingly throughout the whole movie. Ms Knightley seems to think that being cool involves chomping on chewing gum, cocking her head slightly and...
Tony Scott directed Top Gun and The Fan, and Domino is even more stylistically fussy. It takes its cue from the James Brown classic on The 40-Year-Old Virgin soundtrack: I Got Ants in My Pants.
And speaking of the hardest-working man in show business, Brown no longer is. The title now goes to the person responsible for Domino's frenzied editing and show-offish optical work. The latter does to Keira Knightley's skin tones (any color but flesh) what the actress's grunge-look makeup doesn't.
Yet, Scott's rendering has a story hook a lot of biopics would like to have.
Domino Harvey was (she died in June at 35 of an apparent overdose) the daught...
Domino Based on a true story (well, sort of), Tony Scott's highly stylised action thriller follows the life and times of model-turned-bounty hunter Domino Harvey, played by Keira Knightley
Hollywood's strange relationship with real-life stories takes a fresh and bizarre turn with director Tony Scott's latest exercise in visual excess. Declaring upfront that what you're about to see is a mix of truth and outright lies, the film takes the life of the late Domino Harvey, a model who made an abrupt career change into professional bounty hunting, and uses it as the skeletal structure for a truly delirious mixture of myth, hard-edged action and twisted satire.

This movie is crude, but it does keep you into the plot through the whole thing. Movies like this are just made to make that kind of life like look romantic and cool, but in reality it's just hollywood making more money. 4/5
