Doesn't just nail your balls to the wall, it first takes your balls out for a nice seafood dinner, then convinces your balls to snort cocaine off the table, then when your balls are high out of their mind it ejects your balls full of heroin, then convinces your balls to convert to Scientology, all the while it is stealing the money out of your balls bank account, and then finally it nails your balls to the wall.

The kind of awful that could put me off films altogether.

This film is awesome until Tom Waits shows up. Then it FUCKING awesome!! This is a badass modern day exploitation film and I love it. R.I.P Tony Scott.

Saddest caper film ever. Parents, don't let your children grow up to be bounty hunters.

It starts off walking a thin line of watchable trash and quickly devolves into a total steaming pile of a train wreck culminating in a dog shit climax. It just goes on and on and on and on and on...... and on and on and on until it eats itself alive and implodes into a massive black hole of an experience leaving your brain voided of anything tangible. PLEASE AVOID unless you're a Tony Scott completest or get off on Richard Kelly stroking his ego cock. Watch True Romance instead.

Somewhere hidden deep within this Red Bull commercial is a film.
I just can't see it because I don't know what's going on most of the time.
At all.

I really thought I'd like this movie more after all these years, but truth be told there's something wrong with it in a relative vacuum of such particular movies as well. There's more plot in it than I remember, which generally is a plus, thus I can't say it a pure "style over substance" problem, but something simply doesn't click like it should.
Over the top-ness of it doesn't make me chuckle, movies badass-ness doesn't make want to fist-pump the air and so on and so on. Still, it's hardly a bad movie, but bar couple of scenes, not a whole lot to remember.

Way too much story.

The first time I saw this film was in 2005 when It was released, I remember it being something that was stylized like nothing I had seen before, with large amounts of visual filters over the film making many scenes blend together like a drug induced illusion with the haunting sound of Tom Waits in the back ground emphasizing impending doom and despair that many characters face throughout the film.
Watching it this time through, it feels like nothing new. Many films have taken this dark gritty feeling to all sorts of action movies. When watching it you have to realize when it was released and respect it for what it is. The acting is fantastic and will many unknown…

When you kind of like a movie that has issues and you know it isn't well-liked, you call it a Mess. Theres a word thats not so harsh that you can come back with...but its fun. Or ....but I liked it. So I invoke the "mess" rule. Its a bit of a clusterfrack and its like Tony Scott's most Tony Scotty movie ever I'd say. Its all over the place, its a little crazy. But I never got bored, I smiled a lot, and when it was over, I was happy. What can I say? Its a mess, but I dug it.

Merece la pena verla sólo por el momento chinegro. Eso sí, sólo ver eso.

Not sure why I ended up watching this. I'm a fan of Scott's late period from what I've seen, especially Deja Vu, but this had little to offer me.
After looking it up it seems of all his films this is the one that critics ravaged most viciously. Sometimes they just find a director or genre, Bay or Scott or teen vamps or whatever, and see it as a free pass to write some vitriol without having to be held accountable for it. Scott got a lot of that it seemed. With this film though, he doesn't really help himself.
The problems start with Kiera Knightley, who is completely unbelievable as the title character, a female bounty hunter wit' attitude.…

I think Domino is 1 of the lesser Tony Scott (R.I.P.) films. Some bits I really dug like Edgar Ramirez' Choco character but there's a lot I didn't like that much. I can't really describe why even after having seen it twice.
-
Terrible movie, I saw him for 50 minutes but it was impossible to see him until the end.
There are so many good filmmakers out there who need to budget for your movies and spend money on things like this crappy Domino! -
