Synopsis: 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 thriller.... 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 thriller. Unfolding in a nonlinear 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 luxurious 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 harbors 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. [More]

    Domino Proves Tony Scott is Still a Racist and Richard Kelly is NOT Tarantion.

    It's almost as if the power went out and Domino was filmed on back-up generator power complete with blackouts and power surges.

    The first part of the film holds your attention even if it is too tricked up. But the longer the film rolls, the less interested the audience becomes.

    Hot, steamy, full-blown nihilistic filmmaking. A template for erotic violence.

    does have its moments but it makes its audience work too hard to find them...It is a violent, often funny cartoon, but Domino's story still has not been told

    Anything good about this movie is drowned in the sea of overkill by director Tony Scott.

    It's Scott's lack of restraint and Kelly's lack of focus that keep Domino from fulfilling its initial potential.

    This was made for the MTV generation, whatever that is, and has the look of one of those videos they don't really show anymore.

    In short, Domino suffers from overdirection and a casting gamble that doesn't pay off but it's worth seeing for its sheer horrendousness.

    [Scott] directs this 'sort of true' crime story about English schoolgirl-turned-bounty hunter Domino Harvey like a rabid dog with a rag doll in its gnashers.

    I find it hard to believe that Domino would peel off her clothes and do a lap dance for a bunch of East L.A. gang bangers to diffuse a tense situation. But what do I know?

    It's like a ferret on crystal meth that belatedly discovers ecstasy, and it's a tiresome trip either way.
