Maybe I am just disgruntled because I watched several other slow movies in the same week, but Domino was very disappointing. The previews had shown most of the action scenes. The rest of the movie can be erased because there was rarely even another entertaining scene. Good acting...Poor story line.

Edgy Drama About Real Life Bounty Hunter Domino HarveyReview created: 09/19/06(updated 11/03/06)
by:
2 of 5 people found this review helpful.
Keira Knightley portrays the larger than life adventures of the real Domino Harvey. In this original Tony Scott adventure, we take a glimpse into the action packed life of a real life bounty hunter. The script is tight and the cinematography is stylized in a way that seems appropriate for this movie. This movie shows the underbelly of the bounty hunter trade, and Keira Knightley plays a pretty tough Domino Harvey. Mickey Rourke does an excellent job of portraying Ed Martinez, Domino's bounty hunter boss), and Christopher Walken is terrific as a reality TV producer.
The real Domino Harvey was a technical consultant during production, but she was apparently unhappy with the way that the script portrayed her life as a hollywood fantasy. Domino was discussing creating a documentary to depict the real life of bounty hunters. Unfortunately, she died before the movie was released, and was never able to realize her documentary project.
This movie was panned when it was in the theaters, but I think it's definitely a movie worth watching. Mickey Rourke plays Dominos Bounty Hunter boss, and does an excellent job of playing a tough-guy bounty hunter. This movie provides plenty of action with a good script. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie!

a review of the movie dominothis a pretty decent movie about a female bounty hunter. when i first saw it, i was very impressed with the way that the editors messed with the saturation of color to make this movie seem even grittier which was a big selling point for me. the story line is good and the actors all did a great job in making this movie roll along. i give this movie three and a half to four stars!!

Domino primarily makes a good rental and a purchase for some. If you want action, bounty hunters, and a suspenseful story, Domino is for you.

Not What I Thought...Review created: 08/03/06
by:
This movie really didnt do it for me. It was full of wierd/unnecessary scenes that just didnt fit (including a random drug trip). This movie had lots of nudity and sexual scenes, so if you were looking for a good action movie this should not be your pick!

Knightly kicks ass royallyReview created: 07/12/06
by:
Though I still think True Romance remains the best Tony Scott film ever.Domino ranks a very close second.Keira Knightly shows her true talent in this movie.As well as Mickey Rourke who is clearly underrated as the talented actor he is.Christopher Walken does a great job in his quick cameo.Even Monique does an impressing job in this film.Great script based loosely on a true story..sort of.Real people,fake story.Still,a great action packed film wtth an indie underground flair.A good time by all.Just a bit repetitive toward the end.

Young woman enters the world of bounty hunters.I liked this movie because it shows a girl can handle her own in a dominately man's field too. Keira Knightly does a great job as Domino Harvey a young woman entering the world of bounty hunters toting guns,knives,and nunchucks along the way. Mickey Rourke and Edgar Ramirez among others complete this die hard cast. I decided to buy this movie because it looked interesting..... it has comedy,a little love story, is action-packed and a good storyline. It ended up being a good choice.

Domino Kicks ButtReview created: 06/11/06
by:
I had ordered an on demand movie to watch, and the movie is exciting, fast paced, full of celebrity cameos. It is also very funny, and each character plays their roles perfectly. My favorite character was Choco, the crazy, quiet but sweet team member of the Bounty Hunters' crew. (I even named my fighting fish after him!) Overall, it is just worth the money if you want to be entertained

A bit too SLOW1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I wouldn't necessarily say this was a bad movie, but it certainly was not what I was expecting. Knightley did an excellent job, as did her two leading men, but good acting does not mean good movie! It seems that this woman lead a very interesting life, and although this film tries to portray that, it doesn't do her justice.
A couple of good action scenes, most of which you've already seen in the previews, but as a whole, this movie moved a little too slow to keep me interested during the entire film.

Action movie with a decent storylineReview created: 02/27/06

This movie has a raw, grittiness to it. It has action but also has a decent storyline. Keira Knightley and Mickey Rourke did a good job, as did the rest of the cast. All-in-all, it was more of a man’s movie to me. Okay to watch the first time, but I don’t think I’ll rush to see it again.

I saw the previews for this movie and thought it looked like it would be amazing. A rough and tough chick bounty hunter kickin some bad boy butt seemed like a great movie to watch and make me feel like a powerful grrl. I generally enjoy most movies, just for the fact that my movie standards aren t horribly high, but I wasn t 30 minutes in to this over 2 hour film when I looked at my husband and said This movie sucks. I knew nothing about the real Domino Harvey story behind the film, nor did I care much whether it was a true story or not, The movie was just too over the top unbelievable, and...

My Name is Domino Harvey and I am a Bounty Hunter (With Keira Knightley)Review created: 02/23/06

Pros:
Good story at the heart, Keira Knightley

Cons:
too much camera movement, very slow first half, Tony Scott

Keira Knightley is a tale of two personalities, and has a film list to prove it. In between her prim and proper roles, she always throws in an off-the-wall, crazy character who lives in her own little world of weirdness. After finishing off Pride and Prejudice, her film Domino hit theaters in the United States. You can talk about fitting a lot of punch into a small character, but it isn't fully realized until you see her on screen. Her role as Domino Harvey is one that won't soon be forgotten, and it is about as intense as a female character can be on-screen. Domino is a lost girl, who after..

Domino was one of the worst movies of 2005Review created: 03/07/06

Cons:
Dialogue, story, direction...everything
Dialogue, story, direction...everything
I tried to give Domino two stars, but I could not think of a single thing that made this movie worth seeing. Not one thing about this stupid movie was worthy of me rating higher than the bare minimum single star. The real shame is that this is based on the life of a real person, which usually makes for fascinating stories. This $50 million movie tanked at the box office, barely clearing $10 million in the United States. This film is based very loosely on the real life of Domino Harvey, a spoiled rich brat who once was into modeling, then got into bounty hunting. She died of a drug overdose in.

Domino, the Quintessential Cinematic HipsterReview created: 01/05/07

Everything else, particularly the editing and cinematography.
Everything else, particularly the editing and cinematography.
Remember high school? Remember the jocks? Remember the nerds? Remember the hipsters? Oh yes, the hipsters. Some of them, you had to admit, were actually pretty cool. Perhaps their hypocritical obsession with Darren Aronofsky or their tendency to value their record collection by its obscurity was a little weird, but their sense of humor usually won you over. However, every group of hipsters carried with them one kid who pedantically spouted off every irrelevant fact which he knew and shopped at the thrift store every weekend for the sake of being chic... you couldn't stand him. That's okay,...

"This film is based on a true story." "Sort of." --Opening Insert, Domino The real-life story of Domino Harvey would make a good movie. Someday, if we're lucky, somebody will shoot it. Till then, we're stuck with the Tony Scott version, which is about as accurate as an acid-flashback life of Lincoln. At the very least, this would have made a good book - which is probably why Harvey should have written it. At least she could have dictated it to a writer - the way Malcolm X did when he had Alex Haley write up the story of his life. If Harvey had done that, we'd have learned more about the real..
