![]() ![]() It is ultimately flawed in so many ways (the actors try too hard to make their characters "cool", for one) but it works. It's a mess, but it's a rather enjoyable mess. ![]() There are some funny jokes it's all very modern and surreal at the same time. It followes then that the story is told at an amazingly rapid-fire pace, with lots of raunchy strong language and gun violence. It becomes a pastiche of MTV culture at this point. I guess that is a clever film technique, because now Tony Scott is free to use as much flashy MTV/Reality Show editing footage as he likes. The crew become tangled up in the FBI and suddenly has a reality show contract under Christopher Walken's TV production company (what is Christopher Walken doing in every film, by the way?). We follow Domino through her life as she joins up with fellow bounty hunters Mickey Rourke, Rizwan Abbasi and Edgar Ramirez. Otherwise she plays her poorly because I pretty much hated her character and did not sympathize one bit with her, no matter how much she suffered. This stylistic edge manifests itself as Keira Knightley plays the role of cocky badass bounty hunter Domino Harvey and even her dialogue seems strangely choppy. It was borderline distracting at times, but the end result was pretty good and it's nice to see a director with a creative edge to his style and some originality (even if it borrows heavily from MTV videos). If I have to choose between loving it and hating it, I'd say I love it. By now it is evident that most people do not appreciate Tony Scott's choppy, flashy, dizzying editing technique. Never have I seen a director take so much flack for his style before.

Title (Brazil): "Domino, A Caçadora de Recompensa" ("Domino, the Bounty Hunter") Director Tony Scott probably wanted to give the rhythm of a video game or video clip, but in the end, in spite of the good cast and resources, the result is deceptive, with irritating noise and images in a complete mess. The major problems are the very confused screenplay and the awful edition. "Domino" is a noisy, boring, violent and confused movie based on a true story. The situation becomes out of control when the sons of a rival mobster are kidnapped while FBI is monitoring the two gangs of mobsters. But she gets in trouble when the Mafia's money is stolen from an armored truck, while Mosley and his crew are in action participating of a reality show produced by Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken).
