Tagline: I Am a Bounty Hunter

Plot: The daughter of respected actor and matinee idol Lawrence Harvey, and model turned socialite Sophie Wynn, Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) was born into a life of wealth and privilege – a lifestyle that did not interest her. Even from her earliest years, Domino rebelled against convention and the jet set. At the tender age of eight her beloved father passed away and her mother looked to the stability of boarding school in a misguided attempt to tame her wild child. But nothing could repress Domino’s fiery nature – not friendships, not school, not her mother’s high society. Even the extraordinary excesses paraded before her during a brief stint at modeling paled in comparison to her own escapades. Not until she stumbled upon a job seminar recruiting aspiring bounty hunters was her thirst for excitement at long last quenched. To Sophie’s (Jacqueline Bisset) horror, Domino not only fell in love with the job but also with her fellow adventurers, who over the years would become her family.

Domino finds her true calling and joins a colorful band of reprobates that includes her wolfish yet formidable ex-con boss, a ruggedly sexy Latino; and an Afghani ex-pat obsessed with explosives. An unlikely foursome to be sure, but their synchronized style consistently results in the capture of

 External Reviews
external linkWatching Domino is an exhausting experience, and that's not altogether welcome. It goes beyond kinetic into frenzied, and Scott's inability to rein in his excesses is going to frustrate a majority of viewers. It's almost impossible to "get into" the movie, since the style is distancing, and there are no moments of quiet or introspection. Yes, the film is interesting, but it doesn't work. Like any failed experiment, it's fascinating to examine, but hopes to achieve something meaningful are foiled. 2/4


external linkWho was Domino Harvey? Too bad the story of her life would be the last place to look for answers. 1/5
--Brian Orndorf (eFilmCritic.com)

external linkWell, "Domino" is the new magnum opus. What Scott and his cinematographer and team of editors have done is impressive technically, but it only matters if it's in the service of a screenplay that deserves such attention. This one doesn't. 2/5
--Eric D. Snider (eFilmCritic.com)

external linkA decent flick that should have been amazing, but doesn’t make it all the way with a lack of focus on its main characters, a story that goes through too many puzzles and a runtime that outlasts itself. 6/10
--'JoBlo' (JoBlo.com)

external linkMiscast, poorly written, over-directed and just plain stupid, Domino avoids one-star ignominy because it’s also unintentionally hilarious, making it a must-see bad movie. 2/5
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)

external linkThere are some shocking scenes of violence, but by that time the film has become so over the top that there is an almost total lack of tension. 1/10
--Tony Medley

external linkOverall Domino is what it is, crazy, psycho fun. It isn't a movie you can enjoy if you are in the right frame of mind, but if you aren't prepared you may actually hate this movie. C+
--Brad Brevet

external linkThe story dosn't fare much better and it's way more convoluted than it had to be. 5/10
