Movie Info

The (mostly) true story of a Hollywood princess turned bounty hunter is told in this witty action-drama from director Tony Scott.

Domino's mother, former fashion model Paulene Stone (played by Jacqueline Bisset and renamed (%Sophie Wynn) in the film), strove to give her daughter a comfortable life, but Domino was naturally rebellious, and

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.

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

Domino is far from dull. But it doesn't convince.

Buried 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.

If 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.

Domino is less a movie than a hyperkinetic slide show -- presented during a nuclear attack.

Despite a great deal of promise and a rousing (albeit too drawn out) finale, it is crippled by a lack of narrative focus and good characterization. But it could have been so much more, and that is truly the worst thing that could be said about it.

...the film doesn't really know what it wants, and the result is more chaotic than compelling. (Blu-ray Edition)

...a tribute to Domino Harvey that reduces her to a nerve-jangling, romanticized song lyric.

Lurid biography that's way too violent for kids.

Domino is one insane gibbering beast, leagues more idiosyncratic than the average action flick.

a twisted head spinner of a biopic, where myth is always racing hot on the heels of a fugitive reality.

Eye for Film

A well-paced action movie, if a little long, with an unusual feeling of surrealism behind the action.

No doubt an interesting story could be told about her life, but this standard-issue assault on the senses isn't it.

Sometimes sound and fury can be quite something in its own right--and for a true character (in every sense) like Domino, it's enough.

Os personagens são interessantes, o filme tem energia, mas o roteiro se perde a partir da metade da trama e os habituais excessos estilíticos de Scott mantém o espectador à distância.

If you're looking for one of Tony Scott's worst films, then your best bet is watching Domino, a fictionalized film about real life bounty hunter, Domino Harvey. The film had potential of being something cool, and hype. But Tony Scott's style of filmmaking is overused to the fullest here, and it's very irritating for
