This is perhaps the most stylized, excessively garish piece of R-rated pop entertainment since Natural Born Killers, and you know what, I loved it.

Reviews for Domino
Top CriticIt's like a ferret on crystal meth that belatedly discovers ecstasy, and it's a tiresome trip either way.
10/14/05
Top CriticDomino is far from dull. But it doesn't convince.
10/14/05
Top CriticBuried deep within the psychedelic sludge that is Domino, there may be a story about a model turned bounty hunter. Good luck trying to find it.
10/14/05
Top CriticIf for some reason you're curious about the sad life of model-turned- bounty hunter Domino Harvey, don't bother with Tony Scott's dismal Domino.
10/14/05
Top CriticDomino is less a movie than a hyperkinetic slide show -- presented during a nuclear attack.
10/14/05
Top CriticIt's sad to say that an arbitrary appearance by Jerry Springer is the picture's closest brush with inspiration.
10/14/05
Top CriticDomino is amusingly decadent for a while but eventually wears you out. Two eyeballs are not enough to see it with.
10/14/05
Top CriticThe picture is an exercise in exploitation joi de vivre, and your enjoyment of it will depend on your tolerance for shameless, reckless, unredemptive violence with relatively little artistic or spiritual value.
10/14/05
Top CriticIt airbrushes and glorifies the short, angry life of its subject in ways that are practically indecent.
10/14/05
Top CriticThe problem with Scott's film and Keira Knightley's performance as the bounty hunter is its bored delirium, a daze of scattershot ennui that prioritizes hipster carnage and flashy cuts over intelligible storytelling.
10/14/05
Top CriticScott means for his entertainment package to be hip, hysterical fun. But his stylistic embellishments and indiscriminate appetite for sensation crowds his title character right out of the film.
10/14/05
Top CriticDomino, director Tony Scott's hyperactive, roll-in-the-mud, blow-stuff-up and jiggle the cameras every which way extravaganza, is one of the most awesomely awful films ever made.
10/14/05
Top CriticIf you are capable of sifting through this cut-up collage of freeze-frames, flashbacks, slo-mo shootouts, druggy smutty vignettes and scruffy scenarios, you could find a few morsels of exhilaration.
10/14/05
Top CriticThe movie has roughly the same effect on the nervous system as listening to a box of marbles being dumped onto a linoleum floor.
10/14/05
Top Critic[Director Tony Scott's] pornographic lust for bloodletting, gunplay, and out-of-control camerawork far exceeds his abilities to tell a story.
10/14/05
Top CriticThe movie plays like the work of a self-impressed film student. It's ripe with strident stylistic flourishes, harsh atmospheric cinematography and superficial roles that allow cast members to scream their heads off. Either that, or get them blown off.
10/13/05
Top CriticYou can't accuse this film of bogging down in cheap psychology, yet you come out dissatisfied and without a clue about what made this person tick.
10/13/05
Top CriticA fantasy based ever so loosely on the real-life character of the late Domino Harvey, Domino is so over-plotted that it's borderline incomprehensible.
10/13/05
Top CriticThe only defense for Domino, the first-ever movie in a blender, is that director Tony Scott is pioneering a new form of cinema, in which the audience can never focus on a single object for more than a half second.
