  Edgy Drama About Larger Than Life Bounty Hunter
Review created: 09/19/06
2 of 6 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.

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 the creation of 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!

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.

4 out of 5

Thank you for voting on the effectiveness of this review.

  Great Action Movie, Wonderful Acting, Fast-Paced
Review created: 05/07/07

Surprisingly, I really enjoyed Domino. Keira Knightley is excellent in the lead role, especially because it's such a different type of role than what she normally plays. The action scenes are well shot, the story is interesting, and I only found out at the end of the movie that it IS based on a true story.

Nice plot twists, great cinematography, good acting, entertaining. What else can you ask for? :-)

  Flashy and Full of Action
Review created: 03/18/07

This movie is fun and flashy but lacks in the acting department. Domino felt watered down, despite her cruel/aggressive actions. The plot is easy to follow. Sometimes the movie gets slow, but it does a decent job of building to the climax. The ending does not disappoint, but I still get that feeling that I got after watching Mission Impossible III: The story and characters were weak. The strongest actress of the cast was Lucy Liu, and she only had a small part. This movie isn't a waste of time, but it's not an example of a great action movie.

Great price fromm the vendor. This movie is perfect gift for a Dog the Bounty Hunter fan, whether man or woman. Action packed and based on a true story of a real female bounty hunter, it's worth seeing.

  Twisty plot line, great movie for cheap! Fast action!
Review created: 03/03/07

I really enjoyed this under-rated movie. It was very inexpensive and worth the 2 bucks or so paid. I sayw it on HBO and wanted it for my collection, so I picked it up on eBay. It does have some big name stars in it if you care about actor/actresses names. I care about the plot. And in this movie, the plot counts.

This film is like LSD. Scott and the acting crew do a fantastic job in telling a story loosely based on female bounty hunter Domino Harvey. There is lots of action and attitude in this film. The story and cinematography will grab the viewers attention. I highly recomend this film.

  I was surprised it was a GOOD FILM!!!!
Review created: 08/08/06(updated 08/09/06)
by:

I really had no desire to see this film but I ended up buying it cheap on eBay (under $4). After I watched it, I was surprised how entertaining it was. I'm not a real big fan of the fast editing cuts made in the film but the performances were strong. I liked the guys from 90210 in it. They were really funny playing themselves. Keira Knightley is smokin' hot as Domino Harvey and she gets topless (briefly) in a love scene. It's a little difficult to believe her as a tough bounty hunter though. There was also plenty of action and some witty dialogue. It's not a chick flick but a chaotic action/comedy/suspense/thriller told with lots of flashbacks. It is very loosely based on a true story. If you are an adventurous movie viewer, you might like it.

I bought this video because Kiera Knightly is the star, and it was based on a true story to boot.
The video was average, though I did enjoy Kiera's performance.
I can't say it is or will be a favorite of mine.

  Over the Top, Unbelievable Movie: Domino
Review created: 04/15/06
by: cascogirl -- a member of Epinions

Pros:
of course Keira Knightley is hot

Cons:
unbelievable story line, too many unnecessary parts, choppy shaky picture,

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
by: three_ster-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies

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 2005
Review created: 03/07/06
by: phungus-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies

Pros:
Nice cast

Cons:
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 Hipster
Review created: 01/05/07
by: updateghost-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies

Pros:
Cast.

Cons:
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,...

  My Name is Tony Scott and I Am a Hack
Review created: 10/16/05
by: bilavideo-- a member of Epinions and Top Reviewer in Movies

Pros:
eye-popping, interesting material, never boring

Cons:
derivative, excessive, 90% bullsh@t, endless narration, tries to be too many things

"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..
