This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
View MoreVery good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
View MoreOne of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
View MoreA 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.
View MoreThe 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.
View MoreDomino (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
View MoreI wouldn't say Domino (2005) is totally worthless. If you can appreciate a film on style alone, then it's an interesting one to look at, with the way it plays with color filters, voice over narration, and editing. But if you're looking for character and plot, then you'll never find it here.Not that there isn't a plot, but the whole thing isn't sewn together well and it flows poorly. The best scenes were the comical ones, but every dramatic moment falls flat. When characters die, you feel nothing. When Domino has ill omens about the future, you feel nothing. Domino herself is a poor protagonist, lacking depth and just along for the ride the whole film.In the end, it's style over substance. And it's a loud and obnoxious style at that, definitely a matter of love or hate. Watch at your own discretion, friends.
