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.
jose_moscardo This movie had all the ingredients for being at least a correct action- drama film, if not a very exciting one: an interesting script inspired by the life of Domino Harvey, a real female bounty hunter and a fascinating character for a Hollywood story; a high budget; a cast full of talented and famous actors and actresses: Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Edgard Ramirez, Delroy Lindo, Lucy Liu, Christopher Walken, Jacqueline Bisset, Dabney Coleman and so on.Then, what is the problem with it? The problem is Tony Scott and his hysterical, inopportune and always "over the top" way of directing. This is his trademark, his style, I know, but it sucks. Thanks to him, it's almost impossible to enjoy anything of this movie: you cannot enjoy the drama, you cannot enjoy the action, you cannot enjoy the actors... You just get annoyed, with your eyes tired and possibly a big headache.And it is really a pity because Domino could have been MUCH MUCH better if its deceased director wouldn't have been so obsessed in sacrificing the content for the sake of the form. By the way, a very wrong concept of what must be a movie in formal terms: a feature film should never be a video clip, what it works in three or four minutes becomes always an exhausting and irritating audiovisual experience in a length of two hours.
jack davey (jackdavey313) I cannot begin to tell you how bad this film I cannot even give you a basic storyline too this film because it has unnecessary flashback shots which causes you to become completely lost what is actually happening after about two minutes Into the film. I generally struggled to watch all the way to the end of it what happens to me very rarely, I have taken nothing away from this film apart from feeling slightly frustrated that I wasted my time and money to buy this awful movie, If I can give you any advice do not buy this film. I had trouble even being able too make this review 10 lines as I cannot even fully remember what the story was about that's how little I took away from this movie possibly one of the worst films I've seen in quite a while.
kimheid I have to give this show a 10. My husband was an extra in this show in Vegas. i actually got to meet Ian Zering and Keira. if you watch the movie you will see him walk in front of the cab parked in valet. he looks at Keira and she at him. Also he is sitting in the bar. it has a lot of very good action scenes. And very interesting when Domino gets to tell her life story. I like this movie because there is a mixture of suspense and a whole lot of action. I think keira Knightly did a bang up job in this movie"literally". I like her acting bette4r in this movie as "Domino" than on pirates. She is a very good actress with multi talents.
