Domino (DVD)

Advantages: Knightly is great, fun from start to finish.
Disadvantages: Could have been more thoughtful than it is, and more effective as a result.

...captions. It just didn't work. DOMINO is Scott taking it to the next level, not only are the violent scenes depicted in an even more hallucinogenic light, but the whole film is filled with that said stylisation. The difference between the films though is that in DOMINO's case this actually works in its favour… A big reason it works so well here is the way the story is told. Based very loosely on the true tale of bounty hunter Domino Harvey who tragically ...
...showing the audience both how Domino entered the world she inhabits, and telling the films complex main plot about a bounty pick up gone wrong. Because of the way the film is edited and looks there's a highly kinetic feel to the whole thing that just makes it flow oh so smoothly no matter how often we jump back and forth in time. At the heart of the film and ultimately why it works as well as it does though, is not Scott's direction, but Keira Knightley's ... Read review

Advantages: Great Storyline Characters And Actors
Disadvantages: Not A True Likelyness Of Domino Harvey

Domino DVD Samuel Hadida presents A Tony Scott Film This film is meant to be loosely based on the life of Domino Harvey. However the only similarities there are that can be mentioned is the upbringing and job of the character. The character Domino Harvey played by Kiera Knightley (Pirates Of The Caribbean / Bend It Like Beckham) is a girl who is from a well of background. She is english with an actor dad who died when she was young. This led to ...
...hard rock cafe and Domino was placed in boarding school with her pet fish Sammy . When Sammy dies she decided never to become emotionally attatched to anything ever again. Domino faces a short time as a model but this obvious does not fit her fiery temper and decides this isnt for her. When Domino sees an advert to become a bounty hunter in a newpaper advertisement she quickly decides this is what she wants to do. This is where she meets her future ... Read review

Advantages: Pretty entertaining stuff
Disadvantages: Hard to tell what was fact and what was fiction

...days - 'My name is Domino Harvey and I am a bounty hunter'. This was enough to put me off the film. That was until I read an article about the real Domino Harvey and realised that if the film was anything like her actual life it may be worth a look. Domino Harvey was (according to the film) a rich girl gone bad. Her father was an actor before he died and her mum was a model, more interested in her social life than paying much attention to Domino. ...
...the UK to Hollywood. Domino cut her hair off, developed a bit of a bad attitude and decided she wanted to be a Bounty Hunter. Obviously I've already mentioned her violent tendencies so add this to her skills with various weapons and she may have found the perfect job. Enter Ed Moseby (Mickey Rourke), the bounty hunter / con man with a heart. He and his sidekick Choco (Edgar Ramirez) have a reputation for getting the job done. Domino has to prove ... Read review

Advantages: Decent enough cast
Disadvantages: Poorly cut

...real life of Bounty Hunter Domino Harvey, played pretty well by the lovely Keira Knightley. Most of the film is shot in the very Tarentino style of flashback as Domino is questioned by an FBI agent played by the woefully under used Lucy Liu. The film follows the life of Domino from childhood to her arrest and whoever made this film had definitely seen FAR too many Tarentino films for their own good. The film is a the story of 3 bounty hunters who ...
...money, implication of the wrong people for that theft, staged but fake killings of those people and another double cross to involve the Mafia and FBI. The film and it's various double crosses are far too complex and as such this is why the film is almost an hour too long. It could be cut very easily but the director was determined to play out all the various plot lines to their conclusions no matter what happened and how much he bored the viewers ... Read review

Advantages: Interesting story
Disadvantages: Everything else is crap

...her films outbefore passing comment. Domino was my film of choice, and guess what - it's still the silly rich girl trying to do grown up boys things - this time she plays the part of bounty hunter Domino Harvey who before her death commented that she was unhappy with her portrayal in the film and I'm not surprised at all. Knightley plays an unconcvincing rich girl turned punk who is good with num chucks, her phrases are dull and the scenarios are ...
...* Keira Knightley as Domino Harvey * Mickey Rourke as Ed Moseby. Rourke initially turned down the film, saying he did not like the role, but agreed to do the film when Tony Scott had the role rewritten. * Edgar Ramirez as Choco * Riz Abbasi as Alf * Delroy Lindo as Claremont Williams III * Mo'Nique as Lateesha Rodriguez * Dabney Coleman as Drake Bishop * Lucy Liu as Taryn Mills * Jacqueline Bisset as Sophie Wynn * Christopher Walken as Mark ...

Advantages: Generally good concert, 'Old Medley' is great.
Disadvantages: Bonus features could be better. Needs less pop and more prog!

..., the riff is also used as a backing for Collins to give thanks to the rest of the band, which adds some alteration, but I wouldn't say the closing track necessarily stands out from the rest in any way. Some of the older Gabriel tracks make an appearance in the 'Old Medley', which is about 20 minutes long and features fairly generous sections from classics such as 'The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway', 'The Musical Box' and 'Firth Of Fifth'. Other than that though, most of the material on this DVD is the more commercal 'pop' hits, although there are still at least some good renditions of longer, more proggy songs such as 'Fading Lights', 'Home By The Sea' and 'Domino'. The sound quality is generally good, and the visuals are ok - not as fine as a DVD filmed and released nowadays would be though. As for the 'bonus features', for much... Read review
