Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.
Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
lindarctica First thing that needs to be said is; don't watch this if you are prone to seizures. The camera/editing work is the most annoying I have ever seen, with a continuous green filter and a jumpcut every second. It's a pain to watch, and that is the number 1 thing that takes this movie down.The story is really not bad though, if it wasn't being told so incoherently, it can be very enjoyable. Plot devices are being laid down like cards on a table, then hussled together and shoved away to be pulled out of the sleeve at the movie's convenience, wether they add something to the deck or not, like the really unnesseccary piece that is the reality show. What a waste of Christopher Walken! Scenes don't make sense until the movie takes the whopping time of two seconds to explain them. It's like trying to read a story on a rapidly moving slideshow. On to the story itself: It's a clever game of crime, backstabbing, honour, revenge and greed, containing a pawn for each subject. With the rebel Domino Harvey as the queen, centering the onslought. The movie took an actual person as a base and slapped a fictional tale on it, and that is indeed quite a tale! There is so much happening that it's hard to explain. What do this trailertrash guy with his arm cut off and a sick little girl have in common - what is their link? That is the story the movie portrayes, and it takes as many detours as you'd expect from these brutally different characters. Some detours are good points, some are utter rubbish. Yes, it's as messy and confusing as it sounds, but that is all you are gonna get from this review without any spoilers. Actingwise i have nothing to complain. We all know Keira Knightley as the whiney little sass-pirate she played in another popular franchise and it didn't do her justice. I disliked her as a actress for that role but she playes Domino with passion. She's convincing to say the least. Mickey Rourke is a pleasure to watch and i wish his character had more to it then the movie showed. The acting is great but it gets blurred - literally!- by the movie's killer pacing, lack of depth and the damned flashy edditing. All in all a mess of a movie, but I don't regret watching it.
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. #
MattyAndAnnika Domino (2005) is one of my all time favorite films for it's time and yet still to date I can drop this movie in the DVD Player and kick back to enjoy the action. I haven't had a lot of time to get my reviews in on all of the movie I own or have watched being that their thousands upon thousands but as time passes I will get to it; I had to take a moment to express my views on Domino. This movie is filled with action, it's sort of the "21 Jump Street" on crack filled with a bit of "Natural Born Killers" love. Now I'm a huge fan of Keira Knightley and so far have liked every film she has performed in; this one still is my favorite of the lot. What more could you ask for in an action movie, tons of guns flaring, conspiracy, and the boat ride that just keeps burning to the ground while in mid float. Love it!
LeonLouisRicci There are Two Types of People that Should See this Tony Scott Film. Those that want to Know Why So Many Hate His Unrestrained, Hyper-Kinetic Style, and Those that Love this Troubled Soul and Recognize a Man at Play, Always Experimenting with the Limits of His Art. If the Shaky Camera has a God it is Tony Scott. But Most of the "Directors" in the So Called Found Footage Films are Hacks and Untalented Exploiters of the Style and Possess Very Little Creativity or Actual Artistic Talent. The Tony Scott Style is Often Imitated but Rarely is it Attractive. They have Turned an Artistic Style Into a Laughable Gimmick.This is Probably the Peak of the Director's Experimental Period as there is Nary a Scene that doesn't Pulsate with Energy and Edginess. In Fact, it is So Overwhelming that it Dominates "Domino" to the Exclusivity of Everything Else. "Based on a Real Person...Sort of."The Movie is Chocked Full of Nutty Characters with Nutty Actors but Even the Charisma of a Mickey Rourke or a Christopher Walken are Bread in the Tony Scott Toaster. The Real Life Domino, Played by Keira Knightley becomes a Virtual Non-Entity and can Barely Maintain a Screen Presence with the Director, and She is In Almost Every Scene, just So Much Paint on the Tony Scott Canvas of the Absurd.There is So Much to Love and So Much to Hate on the Screen that it is Nothing if Not Evocative and Provocative. So Line Up Here or Line Up Over There and Say What You Will. The Director was an Artist in a World of Motion Picture Making Pretenders. An Inconsistent Artist, but What Artist Isn't, and Whose Best Work, Sadly, was Yet to Come.
