A 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.

The 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.

This movie had all the ingredients for being at least a correct action- drama film, if not a very exciting one: an interesting script inspired by the life of Domino Harvey, a real female bounty hunter and a fascinating character for a Hollywood story; a high budget; a cast full of talented and famous actors and actresses: Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Edgard Ramirez, Delroy Lindo, Lucy Liu, Christopher Walken, Jacqueline Bisset, Dabney Coleman and so on.Then, what is the problem with it? The problem is Tony Scott and his hysterical, inopportune and always "over the top" way of directing. This is his trademark, his style, I know, but it sucks. Thanks to him, it's almost impossible to enjoy anything of this movie: you cannot enjoy the drama, you cannot enjoy the action, you cannot enjoy the actors... You just get annoyed, with your eyes tired and possibly a big headache.And it is really a pity because Domino could have been MUCH MUCH better if its deceased director wouldn't have been so obsessed in sacrificing the content for the sake of the form. By the way, a very wrong concept of what must be a movie in formal terms: a feature film should never be a video clip, what it works in three or four minutes becomes always an exhausting and irritating audiovisual experience in a length of two hours.

Domino Harvey, daughter of film actor Laurence Harvey, is tired and unsuited to the pretentiousness of her high-society LA life, so she leaves the vanity behind, and sets off to become a bounty hunter. She falls under the wing of veteran hunter Ed Mosley and his crew, and becomes an unlikely natural in the art of bounty hunting. But things heat up when a masked gang steal the contents of an armoured car, and before long the mob, a crazed TV producer, the FBI and a terminally ill child have all got caught up in the situation....Tony Scott was an amazing film maker. Top Gun, Man On Fire, Déjà Vu to name a few. But wow, just like his Brother, he had a fair few stinkers under his belt. And this has to be right near the buckle.The film is bonkers, but not in a good way. It's all style and no substance, and although it looks all flashy and fresh, as soon as it tries to elaborate its narrative, it stinks rotten to the core.Knightley is okay, as is Rourke, but the rest of the cast seem lost, Walken is the special guest star and hams it up, making the film all the more laughable.It looks good, very good, but it tries too hard to be something different, and ruins it.Oh, and the real Domino appears right at the end, smiling.Guess she never saw the film.RIP
