Take the worst part visually from say
Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers, multiply it by 1,000, add an incoherent plot with zero likable characters and you have
Domino. I knew this was going to be a s h i t t y movie within the first 5 minutes based on the horrible narration by
Keira Knightley. For a movie that had a lot of star wattage in the cast, this came off as
Domino would say....a complete cluster f u c k .
I've been meaning to check this movie out since the day it came out and even over the years with all the negative reviews it received, I was still intent to watch it and make up my own mind. Boy, did the public get it right with this pile of s h i t . I'm a fan of most of
Tony Scott's films, but I just can't understand why he would chose to film it like this as if he were trying to cater to the
MTV generation. The aesthetic is horrible and the editing came off like a kid that got his hands on
Final Cut Pro for the first time and just made edits because he could.
I did find the casting of
Ian Ziering and
Brian Austin Green playing themselves a bit surprising. I had no idea they were even in the film. They did provide some comic relief, albeit unintentional of course. Other than that, there really is nothing worth the time you will spend watching this. Also, this is the third film that
Tony Scott goes to the well when it comes to the Mexican Standoff ending. The other being
Enemy Of The State and
True Romance.
The most interesting part of the entire movie was the final scene when the real
Domino Harvey appears on screen. I knew beforehand that she OD before the movie was released so this still had the hair on the back of my neck stand up when I saw it. As bad as the movie is, it does make me want to learn more about the person, rather than the 'character' of a horrible film.
This is a definite
Skip!!
