  • Summary: Smart. Daring. Defiant and dangerous. As well as beautiful. This is Domino Harvey and this is her real life story...well, sort of. (New Line Cinema)

    It's fractured and maddening, but it's alive.

    It's good sleazy fun for a while, jacked up with an assortment of edgy visuals, but the greenish yellow tint favored by action director Tony Scott is a good metaphor for the movie's jaundiced sensibility.

    Individual sequences are all impeccably assembled, Rourke's grizzled vet chips in some memorable deadpan dialogue.
  4. The movie is quite off its rocker: Jerry Springer, Chrisopher Walken, Tom Waits as a roadside prophet, a miscast, nervous Lucy Liu as an FBI agent -- it's a feverish, violent jumble that's shot as if high on mescaline -- the drug, not the salad.

    Great direction, flawless acting, numerous unpredicted twists and non-stop action, make this movie great. Ive watched it 3 times, and each time its better. A few parts of the movie could have been done without, but overall, this movie was a joy to enjoy. Dont miss it, and dont fall victim to over-criticized and anti-action writers from no-name magazines and papers. Keep in mind, they loved "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" if that gives you an idea where their minds lay. Expand

    Way better than you'd think it would be. this will becomes a cult classic down the road.

    Visually interesting but empty movie. Who cares about these characters? They're all arrogant, oh-so-tough, meaningless. The best part was the self-depracating roles of Brian Austin Green and Ian Whatsizname because they mirror perfectly the leading roles--does Mickey Rourke really think he comes off as some cool toughened criminal? I didn't buy it and couldn't take the film seriously as a result. Expand
