Plot Summary:
|
The already larger-than-spirit story of Domino Harvey, a former Ford model turned bounty hunter, takes on mythological proportions in Tony Scott's (Dedicated Flight of fancy, Geezer ON FIRE) closely-paced function thriller. Unfolding in a non-linear attitude as a bloodied Domino (Kiera Knightley) is interrogated away iron-faced Constable Taryn Miles (Lucy Liu), the film traces the flight path of Domino's tumultuous life. Beginning with the death of her beloved initiator, the actor Laurence Harvey (THE MANCHURIAN Office-seeker), Domino develops into a hard-nosed, scrappy juvenile woman who trai... ns with nunchucks next to her mother's de luxe kitty and responds violently to anyone who crosses her. Bored with the runway and the beguiling LA resilience, Domino shows up pro a bounty-huntswoman seminar. Enticing the teachers of the seminar as they try to lop and run with the proceeds, she manages to triumph their polite and joins their team. This consists of Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke), the tough-as-nails bandleader and Domino's surrogate creator, and Choco (Edgar Ramirez), an impulsive Venezuelan who harbours a not-so-secret admiration for Domino. The three method a benevolent of family, working subservient to Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo), who plays Charlie to their three angels. For a tempo they are unstoppable, square agreeing to produce d end the gooey Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken) produce a reality-TV show nearly them, which is hilariously hosted by means of Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Immature (BEVERLY HILLS 90210). But when Claremont orchestrates a complicated fundamentally work in order to raise the money for his granddaughter's doctor bills, the iffy deliberate within the trio is bonkers. Tom Waits stands peripheral exhausted in a cameo as a wise wanderer who advises the down the drain philanthropy hunters.

really awful
I've been trying to work out what it is that I dislike about this film and believe it or not, its not that easy. This film has all of the right ingredients to be great - a kick-ass hero played by a cute actress in the prime of her career supported by an excellent ensemble cast which includes uber-cool veterans Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken. So where could it possibly go wrong? Well, the simple answer is - everywhere. The script is dire, the acting is second rate and it feels like you're being told 'this film is cool' unconvincingly throughout the whole movie. Ms Knightley seems to think that being cool involves chomping on chewing gum, cocking her head slightly and putting her weight on one leg...but this becomes old within minutes of the film starting. Its like...
Domino
MIke ClarkTony Scott directed Top Gun and The Fan, and Domino is even more stylistically fussy. It takes its cue from the James Brown classic on The 40-Year-Old Virgin soundtrack: I Got Ants in My Pants.
And speaking of the hardest-working man in show business, Brown no longer is. The title now goes to the person responsible for Domino's frenzied editing and show-offish optical work. The latter does to Keira Knightley's skin tones (any color but flesh) what the actress's grunge-look makeup doesn't.
Yet, Scott's rendering has a story hook a lot of biopics would like to have.
Domino Harvey was (she died in June at 35 of an apparent overdose) the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey. Who grew up to become a Ford model, though there seems to be some dispu...
Domino
Based on a true story (well, sort of), Tony Scott's highly stylised action thriller follows the life and times of model-turned-bounty hunter Domino Harvey, played by Keira Knightley
Hollywood's strange relationship with real-life stories takes a fresh and bizarre turn with director Tony Scott's latest exercise in visual excess. Declaring upfront that what you're about to see is a mix of truth and outright lies, the film takes the life of the late Domino Harvey, a model who made an abrupt career change into professional bounty hunting, and uses it as the skeletal structure for a truly delirious mixture of myth, hard-edged action and twisted satire.
Playing like the demented flipside to Scott's previous offbeat thriller, the Quentin Tarantino-scripted True...
