Domino (Widescreen New Line Platinum Series)

It's over the top; sure. This is a film in which arms are literally being thrown around, subtitles are correcting themselves, but I loved every minute of it. Kiera Knightley gives a fierce performance. She shows the right amount of anger and dedication in this performance. Mickey Rourke follows up his great performance in 'Sin City' with another tough-guy performance (Good to see him). Edgar Ramirez really doesn't do anything except speak Spanish every once in a while and stare at Kiera. Delroy Lindoi gives a good supporting performance. Mo'Nique was herself, although she did surprise me on one particular scene. Lucy Liu has great chemistry with Kiera Knightley in her scenes with her. Christopher Walken owns his roles as usual and an unusual assortment of actors including some Beverly Hills 90210 stars manage to squeeze themselves into this production.

The problem that I had with this movie is that it concentrates on the different things that they do, instead of the character of Domino. Some of the dialog in this film was also stupid {"The rich, the poor, and everyone in between."--uuuhh, that's not as clever as you think, filmmakers, no need to repeat it twice!) Plus the final action scene is all shaky so you can't really tell what's going on.

Overall, I thought `Domino' was a great deal of fun. Due to the over the top nature and the twitchy camera tricks, it's easy for me to see why the film was bashed by so many viewers, but I really didn't mind any of this in the least. For me, it was one the most entertaining films to watch. Though `Domino' wasn't the best film of 2005, it was one hell of a ride that is destined to reach cult status. Watch it before you judge it.

I had high hopes for this movie but was letdown. From the cheesy dialogue to the frenetic editing this was way too excessice for my tastes. Stay away from this film.

i anticipated seeing this movie for a long time.the trailers made it
look like it might be good.but i'm afraid that was case of false
advertising.this movie is a complete mess.it's all over the place.i
didn't find keira knightley convincing in the slightest.tony scott
directed this stinker,which should have been my first clue.he was also
behind man on fire,another highly overrated movie(though not as bad as
domino)there is a fair amount of action,which wasn't enough to keep my
eyelids from closing.domino is(allegedly)based on domino harvey,who
turned her back on a modeling career to become a bounty
hunter.according to many reports,the filmmakers played fast and loose
with the facts,to try to make the film more appealing to the
masses.well,they feel short by a mile.not recommended except as a sleep
aid. 1*/5
