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!Read full review
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.
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? :-)
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.
Keira Knightley as Domino Harvey is a bounty hunter. The FBI has arrested her in connection to a $10M theft from an armored car robbery. The entire caper was a set-up to recover the money for an insurance reward, to pay for an operation needed to cure a little girl's rare blood disease. This is an action filled movie, but an ugly one! The level of violence is way over the top, and senseless. You may like this movie, but I personally didn't.
