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.

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! -

An absurdist masterpiece of cinema of distraction. Swish-pans, superimpositions, slow motion and any other attention-grabbing device is employed to tell a nonsensical story based on real life.

The Good: Keira Knightley
The Bad: the screenplay
The Ugly: the editing and directing -
Saddest caper film ever. Parents, don't let your children grow up to be bounty hunters.

Keira Knightley plays a bounty hunter from a privileged background in this overly-stylized exploitation flick. The acting isn't anything great, the plot is confusing at times but somewhat entertaining, and the overall cinematography is terrible (it's as if the world is constantly in a state of sunrise). If it wasn't for Keira Knightley, I'm not sure I would like this movie as much as I do.
Towards the end, Tom Waits shows up and there simply are no words to describe how stupid this movie becomes. It goes from "I'm a bounty hunter just doing my job" to "I'm saving the life of a girl who some pastor said was going to be important to the human race". WHY DID THIS HAPPEN. Bad choices, everywhere.
P.S. -- Even if you hate it, it's hard to complain because Keira Knightley's boobs happened.
