Excellent, a Must See

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

The first time I watched this film I thought it was maybe the worst movie I had ever seen. It was so overdone, overproduced, and the direction so poor. Moreover, the script was not the strongest. However, you are drawn in by the fact that this is a pretty impressive cast. And it is the cast that saves this film from itself. The three leads deliver, especially Rourke, who is great in everything. You also have Delray Lindo and others aiding the production. In the end, this film is like a drug, it might not be good for you, but I'll be damned if it is not addictive. If you are curious as to the story, I would say it was 99% fiction, even though it claims to be based on a true story, but hey, this is Hollywood.

Domino (2005): Dir: Tony Scott / Cast: Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Edgar Ramirez, Jacqueline Bisset, Delroy Lindo: Daughter of famous actor Laurence Harvey, Domino seemed fated for carnage. Her story is told in flashbacks to her attorney about the death of her father at an early age and her induction into boarding school that left her less than satisfied. It is during a phony bounty hunter seminar led to her true calling with a truck load of money stolen and bodies piling up. Director Tony Scott wisely shoots as if it was a reality T.V. show and indeed, much of the screenplay suggests this. Keira Knightley plays the fierce Domino without fear or consequence. She knows her past as well as the consequential choices of now but remains true to her own reasoning. Mickey Rourke and Edgar Ramirez are superb as bounty hunters both of whom have different feelings in accepting Domino within their ranks but ultimately they too must face the consequences of their actions. Jacqueline Bisset plays Domino's materialistic mother in perhaps the one role that remains the only face of home to Domino. Delroy Lindo plays a bail bondsman whose side business seems to be armor vehicles. Film gives insight into the dangers of bounty hunting but it is also quite violent in its portrayal of these events that slide through our heroine's memory like a film reel. Score: 8 / 10

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.

There is quite a lot of stars here : Keira Knightley ("Pirates of Caribbean " series) , Mickey Rourke ("Harry angel") , Brian Austin Green and Ian Ziering ("Beverly Hills 90210) , Lucy Liu ("Charlie's Angels) , Christopher Walken ("The Deer hunter") , Peter Jacobson ("House MD") , singer Macy Gray and TV-host Jerry Springer .There is no acting here, only posing. To be honest , the main reason I've decided to watch this movie was to see Knightley naked . I have to admit I was disappointed . The movie is rated R , yet we get only to see a lap dance (quite good) and one sex scene , where you can barely see her breasts . I have to admit that Knightley has one of the smallest breasts I have ever scene. Too bad. Such a pretty face, such a small breasts.The plot is about... God only knows . Is it a movie about a girl from affluent but dysfunctional background who grew to be a tough bounty hunter ? Is it a movie about big robber ? Is it a movie about a sad Afro-American woman on Jerry Springer show ? Is it a movie about media? What about all the other subplots : the crazy Afghani guy bent on liberating Afghanistan, the love story between Domino and Chocco, the mescaline episode, the FBI surveillance operation...The overall story had potential for thriller , but in the end characters action don't make sense like the rest of this movie. The story is completely discontinuous and confusing to watch. Certain aspects of the plot were ridiculous and totally unbelievable."Donnie Darko" was also written by Richard Kelly. It was chaotic , sure but made sense in the end anh was though provoking. This is just mess from one-hot wonder writer/director Kelly.Too much of flashy MTV style of editing. It looks cool at first , but quickly becomes annoying TO THE VERY END OF THE MOVIE.All style , no substance or sense . Tony Scott and Richard Kelly what have you done ? I give it 1/10. I would rather watch "Top gun" . Cheesy , but good product that was enjoyable and made sense. This ? This is pure trash.
