| Movie Description The already larger-than-life story of Domino Harvey, a former Ford model turned bounty hunter, takes on mythological proportions in Tony Scott's (TRUE ROMANCE, MAN ON FIRE) fast-paced thriller. Unfolding in a nonlinear fashion as a bloodied Domino (Kiera Knightley) is interrogated by iron-faced Officer Taryn Miles (Lucy Liu), the film traces the trajectory of Domino's tumultuous life. Beginning with the death of her beloved father, the actor Laurence Harvey (THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE), Domino develops into a hard-nosed, scrappy young woman who trains with nunchucks beside her mother's luxurious pool and responds violently to anyone who crosses her. Bored with the runway and the glamorous LA life, Domino shows up for a bounty-hunter seminar. Catching the "teachers" of the seminar as they try to cut and run with the proceeds, she manages to win their respect and joins their team. This consists of Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke), the tough-as-nails leader and Domino's surrogate father, and Choco (Edgar Ramirez), an impulsive Venezuelan who harbors a not-so-secret love for Domino. The three form a kind of family, working under Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo), who "plays Charlie to their three angels." For a time they are unstoppable, even agreeing to let the slimy Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken) produce a reality-TV show about them, which is hilariously hosted by Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green (BEVERLY HILLS 90210). But when Claremont orchestrates a complicated inside job in order to raise the money for his granddaughter's doctor bills, the precarious balance within the trio is disturbed. Tom Waits stands out in a cameo as a wise wanderer who advises the lost bounty hunters.

Top Reviews  Domino flops.Review created: 03/19/06 by:  11 of 14 people found this review helpful. 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. Review ID: 10000000000801491 Was this review helpful? Report this review  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! Review ID: 10000000001884637 Was this review helpful?

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! Review ID: 10000000001483286 Was this review helpful?
