The daughter of an actor father and a social-climber mother Domino Harvey bored with her life decides to join the team of Ed Moseby and becomes a bounty hunter. But she gets in trouble when the Mafias money is stolen from an armored truck while Moseby and his crew are participating in a reality show produced by Mark Heiss. The situation gets out of control when the sons of a rival mobster are kidnapped while the FBI is monitoring two gangs of mobsters.
Review
I liked Domino even though the movie felt like a total mess. Describing the plot would be as much help to you as saying there was a beginning and an end so I might as well just do that. I could tell you that Domino Harvey (Keire Knightley) once a model has turned into a bounty hunter under the leadership of Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke). Also part of their team is Choco (Edgar Ramirez) who looks like a Latino version of Val Kilmer. The movie also involves mafia stolen money a man with an arm detached from his body Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green from Beverly Hills 90210 as themselves sisters named Lashandra and Lashindra and a Jerry Springersequence that could have been a comedy short on its own.
I liked all of it for multiple reasons its energy being one of them. The movie feels like one long music video even more than films like Trainspotting Go and The Rules of Attraction (funny how they all deal with drugs in one way or another) but it never becomes exhausting. It is one of those films where style over substance succeeds maybe not in great way but simply in a way. I also liked it for the actors. Keira Knightley is convincing as a tough girl even more admirable after just seeing her as a naughty but delicate girl in Pride & Prejudice. Mickey Rourke is back with extraordinary performance in films such as Spun Once Upon a Time in Mexico Sin City and now Domino. Not only them but also Ramirez Delroy Lindo Tom Waits and especially Christopher Walken (as the producer of a reality show the team is doing) give the movie something extra to enjoy. It is exactly what this movie is enjoyable.
