Domino review

An average movie

I already saw thisย  movie but since it was a while back and since I have it on DVD, I was quite eager to check it out again. For once, Tony Scott decided to make a movie without Denzel Washingtion and to hire Mickey Rourke instead who was making his comeback at the time. First of all, it was a really awesome story. I mean, a model who decides to become a bounty hunder, it doesn't really get better than this. It was also nice to see Keira Knightley trying something completely different than her usual costume dramas, even if her performance was not always completely convincing. Furthermore, the directing was visually really neat, kinetic with a nice sense of chaos. Unfortunately, the whole thing still didnโ€™t completely worked though. Indeed, the issue with this chaotic approach was that the whole thing was basically a mess and, in this mess, half of it was pretty much some garbage. On top of that, Scott maybe displayed how badass Domino has become but he didn't really get much further than that and we never get to know her, what makes her tic and what she is actually thinking and feeling. Eventually, they basically turned a rather intriguing story into a mildly entertaining action flick and that was rather disappointing. Still, like I said before, Tony Scott was one of the best action movie makers and I wasn't bored watching this. To conclude, even though it never reached its full potential, I still think it is a decent flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in the late Tony Scott's work.
