Domino
This film allegedly is the true story of Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley), not only the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey, but a Ford Agency model turned bounty hunter. Raw, gritty, hard, and edgy are becoming the trademark of Tony Scott films. The movie is shot like a MTV music video and told in flashbacks to give the appearance of being artistic and more mysterious. However, the attempt is just a jumbled mess with not much of a plot. It has taken a real person’s life story and fictionalized it into a comic book adventure by portraying it in an over-the-top and exaggerated style. Also, the characters are not likable. Bad girl Domino’s solution to her problems usually results in someone getting a broken nose.
Alien gives it 1 ½ “wanted: dead or alive” stars out of 4.
