Interesteg What makes it different from others?
SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
arjunflamingfeather Meaning to our adventures are not shared accurately because like love meaning of grace disappears but shows proof of appearing again. In the years of watching visual creations in Cinema halls and in residence; applying display value to criticism brings attention to detail like while taking a penalty in the world cup. 'Penalty' for the world cup football in Russia but the pause button is like that while watching movies. Marathon adventures by actresses: Keira Knightly lead to a DOMINO. The actors both Ramirez and Rooke are supporting the actress Knightly in this movie marathon off: Keira. The academy award nominee actress, twice has been caled upon as a potential winner but not yet so. Keira is a British actress who in this movie plays with her physical activities like life cycles of training with her body because of the duty that existential movements shows. Attention to detail and proving certain movements of people like the movie has leads to our disbelief being surrendered to belief over humanity. Human activity like loosing track of themselves in drugs and crime even to a tolerable nature if proven not guilty; leads to belief in the eternal or dead humans. In the past humans have perished and the proof is the eternal because 'Gods' do not die they are merely reborn or take on another body but the cycle can not be broken eternally because choosing life over death is the meaning of living like breathing.The movie calls for attention to the now over the past, present which is subject to change into the future because of the passage of time. Novel idea for a creative treat to the eye; putting terrorism within the limits of governance meaning becoming legal with the opportunity.
FountainPen Dear dear me! What a violent, ridiculous, flashy mess. A pretentious flop, trying SO hard to pull the wool over our eyes, pretending to be an important movie. Ha! As a seasoned reviewer, I am always suspicious of 10/10 ratings when a movie gains only around an average 6/10 or so on IMDb. Undoubtedly, this flick has been pushed up owing to many very high ratings. "dlahiff", for example, rates it 10/10, and has rated only ONE movie here on IMDb... titling his/her review "Tony Scott's Postmodern Masterpiece". Hmmm. Crazy! This is a silly, higgledy-piggledy film featuring several "stars", yet bringing very little of value to us. Of course, if you like flashing, flashy scenes of violence, relentless obscenities, blood, guns, and enjoy the presence of Keira with her odd accent, you may like this movie. I found it thoroughly distasteful and difficult to sit through, frankly. Don't waste your time. Because there are some even worse filme, I have rated this 2/10. #
NateWatchesCoolMovies Domino is Tony Scott's fire roasted, charbroiled masterpiece. I've seen it over ten times and every time I seem to enjoy it more. It's pure, unfiltered Scott, free from the nagging pressures of the studio, financed by his own company, a loving treatise of pure style and breakneck kamikaze energy that doesn't let you breathe for a second. It's based on the life of Hollywood baby turned rough and tumble bounty hunter Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley), daughter of actor Laurence Harvey. She leaves the 90210 world of rich snobs to pursue a grittier path, in the form of restless underground law enforcement. Now, the film sheepishly admits it's not entirely based on a true story before the credits even start, so as long as you know how much is fantasy going in, you won't feel cheated. Knightley is an angry, sparking roman candle in the role of her career, shedding her dainty image and going full furious grunge, giving Domino an alternative edge and damaged pathos that fuels much of the film's kinetic energy. Mickey Rourke plays her grizzled boss Ed Moseby, a veteran bounty hunter with a trail of violence behind him, who's weary and tough in equal parts. Rourke fires on all cylinders, giving some of his best work. Edgar Ramiraz plays scrappy Choco, third musketeer and eventual lover for Domino. Christopher Walken waltzes in as a reality TV producer with the attention span of a ferret on chrystal meth, Mena Suvari as his squirrelly assistant, Lucy Liu as a prim, likely OCD federal agent, Delroy Lindo is excellent as their bail bondsman associate Claremont Williams, Tom Waits has a surreal cameo as a desert wanderer, and there's scuzzy work from Dale Dickey, Lew Temple, Macy Gray, Monique, Dabney Coleman, Jacqueline Bisset, Jerry Springer and more. This is the kind of movie that grabs you by the collar and hurls you down an asphalt horizon of hallucinatory camera work, an intricate, lurid story of true crime gone wrong, and a balls to the wall depiction of life at its fastest, wildest and most out of control, as only the maestro of such things, Tony Scott, can bring you. Knightley ironically says in voice-over near the end, "I'll never tell you what it all meant". The film has a similar sentiment towards its audience: come along for the ride, if you dare, experience the raw, titillating excess of a purely enjoyable shotgun blast of genre filmmaking, but don't expect an explanation, a rationalization or least of all an apology. It is what it is: a sketchy piece of action crime cinema loosely based on a girl's intense life, sure to get your blood coursing through your veins and your synapses firing in time to its relentless, trippy rhythm.
FlashCallahan Domino Harvey, daughter of film actor Laurence Harvey, is tired and unsuited to the pretentiousness of her high-society LA life, so she leaves the vanity behind, and sets off to become a bounty hunter. She falls under the wing of veteran hunter Ed Mosley and his crew, and becomes an unlikely natural in the art of bounty hunting. But things heat up when a masked gang steal the contents of an armoured car, and before long the mob, a crazed TV producer, the FBI and a terminally ill child have all got caught up in the situation....Tony Scott was an amazing film maker. Top Gun, Man On Fire, Déjà Vu to name a few. But wow, just like his Brother, he had a fair few stinkers under his belt. And this has to be right near the buckle.The film is bonkers, but not in a good way. It's all style and no substance, and although it looks all flashy and fresh, as soon as it tries to elaborate its narrative, it stinks rotten to the core.Knightley is okay, as is Rourke, but the rest of the cast seem lost, Walken is the special guest star and hams it up, making the film all the more laughable.It looks good, very good, but it tries too hard to be something different, and ruins it.Oh, and the real Domino appears right at the end, smiling.Guess she never saw the film.RIP
