All-sizzle, no-substance.

The longer Domino lasts the more annoying it becomes, everything coming to a head in a fetishistic orgy of bloody babes and bullets that's sure to go down as a Maxim reader's wet dream.

The film story becomes captive to its own hyperkineticism.

An exhausting, indecipherable mess.

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.

Apr 12, 2012Tony Scott brings the "flare" in <i>Domino</i>, but ends up burning it down instead of lighting it up.<p>The story does have its points of interest thanks to some minor, although predictable, twists and turns. Unfortunately, the film is a bit elongated at 2 hours and the stylized nature of Tony Scott completely outshines anything this picture has going for it. The director's stamp seemingly ends up on nearly every shot; however, this stamp isn't enjoyable to look at. At some points, it's like watching a poorly edited music video.</p><p>Even the action and violence gets clouded by the visual prowess of Scott. Once again, this is a shame since bounty hunting is an integral piece of the story.</p><p>Keira Knightley is enjoyable to witness as this type of character. It's just too bad that none of the characters, even Knightley's, are likable. There are a number of recognizable faces amongst the cast, which end up as wasted talent.</p><p>Regardless of the cast and story, <i>Domino</i> is film that divides the audience with its approach. It's a 50/50 chance whether or not this will end up as a recommendable movie.</p>JY S Super Reviewer

Feb 06, 2012"Sometimes a girl has to be naughty..." Domino is an adrenaline packed exploitation film that's wildly entertaining. Tony Scott brings his controversial stylistic directing to this fast paced, open narrative film, and it works brilliantly. Additionally, Rickard Kelly brings a surreal style to the screenplay that perfectly syncs with Scott's directing. Keira Knightley is outstanding in the lead role of Domino Harvey, and breaks out as a strong, charismatic action star. The supporting cast, which includes Mickey Rourke, Christopher Walken, and Lucy Liu, also give great performances that bring a lot of energy to the film. And though there are dozens of problems with the story, none of it ends up mattering; as the fun and the action keeps the film upbeat and moving. Domino is a delicious guilty pleasure film that's pure mindless, crazy action.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jan 03, 2012Bad...Keira Knightley is a poor choice for this role, and the film is badly directed. Tony Scott believes that if he makes a scene go by as fast as possible, the audience won't see how stupid this film is. Needless to say, it doesn't work. The only part that's kinda cool is the gunfight towards the end, but even that is still stupid. This film is just one big dumbfest.Stephen S Super Reviewer

Nov 12, 2011I don't even know where to start with this. That's how uninteresting and boring this picture was to me. The plot is over the top and pointless. Nothing really seemed to interest me and the most frustrating was painfully going throught the experience with the hyperkenetic camera lighting and speed frames. If you enjoyed reality TV shows like "Dog The Bounty Hunter" this movie is definetly for you.Brian R Super Reviewer
