The already larger-than-life story of Domino Harvey, a former Ford model turned bounty hunter, takes on mythological proportions in Tony Scott's (TRUE ROMANCE, MAN ON FIRE)...
more...fast-paced action thriller. Unfolding in a non-linear fashion as a bloodied Domino (Kiera Knightley) is interrogated by iron-faced Officer Taryn Miles (Lucy Liu), the film traces the trajectory of Domino's tumultuous life. Beginning with the death of her beloved father, the actor Laurence Harvey (THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE), Domino develops into a hard-nosed, scrappy young woman who trains with nunchucks beside her mother's luxurious pool and responds violently to anyone who crosses her. Bored with the runway and the glamorous LA life, Domino shows up for a bounty-hunter seminar. Catching the teachers of the seminar as they try to cut and run with the proceeds, she manages to win their respect and joins their team. This consists of Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke), the tough-as-nails leader and Domino's surrogate father, and Choco (Edgar Ramirez), an impulsive Venezuelan who harbours a not-so-secret love for Domino. The three form a kind of family, working under Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo), who plays Charlie to their three angels. For a time they are unstoppable, even agreeing to let the slimy Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken) produce a reality-TV show about them, which is hilariously hosted by Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green (BEVERLY HILLS 90210). But when Claremont orchestrates a complicated inside job in order to raise the money for his granddaughter's doctor bills, the precarious balance within the trio is disturbed. Tom Waits stands out in a cameo as a wise wanderer who advises the lost bounty hunters.

Full review
A very good film to watch. It keeps you guessing all the way and the action and fight scenes keep you hooked. Some say this film is based on a true story, and to be honest it's hard to tell whether it is or not. There's a appearance from an unknown woman as the credits role which may be 'Domino Harvey,' but this is irrelivant to the story.
The film follows Domino (played by Keira Knightley) from childhood to retirement as a bounty hunter and shows how her work collegues become her family-as the only people she can trust. I was surprised Knightley managed to play the daring, dangerous Domino so well, a role I wouldn't have labelled her as being able to do, but credit to her.
If you like action films and a good plot, then don't miss out on this film
