5.0 out of 5 stars An underrated gem., October 5, 2009

This review is from: Domino [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

This movie is far from perfect, as most of it's fans are surely aware, but if you like off-beat action movies with great hyper-kinetic visuals and cool music combined with solid performances and an entertaining storyline then this is a blast of pure cinema bliss. It is an excellent example of exhilarating film-making and escapism at its finest. I also happen to love it's visual style and I think that this is a film worthy of it's superior Blu-ray release. This is well worth owning.

This review is from: Domino [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

"Domino" works in overdrive to be all things to all people, and as a result--it fails to be successful in almost every regard. There's great potential, to be sure, but the resultant film is a loud and convoluted mess. The movie wants to be a slick action picture AND a hip and ironic satire about Hollywood AND a procedural about bounty hunting AND a loose biopic treatment of Domino Harvey AND an edgy Tarantino type comedy. What it ultimately and unfortunately succeeds in is pointlessness. Most sadly, it is absolutely not an homage to the real, recently deceased Domino Harvey--who, by all accounts, had a fascinating story to tell. I wish this had been that movie.

While I know many people enjoy this film and its excesses, I just react very negatively to it. So I'm not going to spend a lot of time on this one. To me, it represents everything that is wrong with movies today--which is especially ironic when it thinks it's poking fun at the Hollywood machine. It's addle-brained entertainment for those who expect no amount of logic or common sense in their storytelling. The actors are fine, I suppose. I can see why the role appealed to Keira Knightly and her diehard fans may want to check this out as a curiosity. There is non-stop action to appeal to the eye, and if that's all you need--it's here. But the editing, effects and music are so amped up in an attempt to make you ignore that things really never make sense.

A prime example of this is the entire movie's premise! There is one crooked armored car robbery. It's an inside job, a nefarious scheme which involves Domino's direct supervisor. He is trying to illegally (and secretly) fleece a major Vegas billionaire. However, he puts Domino and her team on the case. That's fine, he'd have to act like it was business as usual. But the real kicker is that he is aware that a television reality show is filming their every movement. So, in fact, the "secret plan" and Domino apprehending and turning some kids over to the billionaire is all being filmed. Don't worry, though, later on our heroes will just blow up the TV van to erase the footage. Huh? Maybe they should have hired someone else. I don't know--I guess I'll never be a criminal mastermind. By the time the end rolls around, there is the requisite shoot-out with dozens of people representing four different groups. I couldn't help thinking I'd already seen this done much better in a thoroughly more entertaining film by the same director--"True Romance." Oh, and one more thing--spare me the dead goldfish symbolism. Absolutely painful. Take a pass on this one. KGHarris, 10/06.

This review is from: Domino [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

The film is loosely based on the true story of Domino Harvey, the rich socialite and part-time model born to famous parents, who became a bounty hunter and ended up dead of a drug overdose at age 36 (though the film mercifully ends before the Domino's untimely demise).

Keira Knightly absolutely kicks butt and takes names in the title role, and Mickey Rourke does a similarly amazing job as her boss and mentor.

Domino works as an action flick, as a caper flick, and as a character study of Domino, her boss and to a lesser degree the whole team.

Great bluray too, which I bought full-price when it came out, because I like the movie so much. For $10? No-brainer!
