Sure, it's amusing, but it isn't much more.
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.

Domino is an experience, with a fantastic cinematography, great performance, and amazing story, Domino is a blast, i highly recommended.
Report
It's not so important to follow plot twists--I couldn't--but the emotional thrust Kelly and Scott want to drive home is plain: Once Domino is asked to use guns and knives and nunchucks for a purpose outside the law, she's alarmed, appalled, aghast.
So over-plotted that it's borderline incomprehensible.
Domino is less a movie than a hyperkinetic slide show - presented during a nuclear attack.
Two hours of senselessness and overkill, decked out in lurid, bad-trip colors.
Domino is a new definition of a snuff movie. It snuffs out every vestige of feeling.
A perfect film in my opinion. Not sure why all the negative reviews. It was stylish, dramatic, action packed, thrilling, funny, well directed, and well written. Whats not to like?

Tony Scott was an excellent action director before his untimely passing. He gave a unique sense of power and effort to what could have otherwise been a by-the-numbers action film. Instead, fantastic performances by Mickey Rourke, and Keira Knightley highlight the unforgettable, tense scenes. Unfortunately there's quite a bit of what might as well be flash photography interspersed throughout the film. It's incredibly jarring and unnecessary. But overall, for a film centered on a female bounty hunter, it certainly managed to keep my interest.

You caught me...I love this movie way more than I probably should. I don't care what critics say about this one, I had one hell of a time with it. Underrated fun!

Director Tony Scott brings the true-to-life story of model turned bounty hunter Domino Harvey to the big screen. Sadly, the final product offers only sporadic enjoyment and a number of narrative snags for the audience to get hung up on. The characters are well-performed and even provide some relative promise upon our introduction to them about 5 or so minutes in. But with this consistently incoherent plot that constantly shifts perspectives and jumps away from our core cast of characters, it's hard to place yourself in a position of caring about anything that's going on. And, as for Tony Scott's trademark/controversial post-1990's visual style, I'm always a fan of it when it's called for and the story isn't buried by it. Unfortunately, it does feel as though "Domino's" narrative integrity ends up succumbing to the excessive nature of its look in the end. Overall, it's not as horrific of a watch as some other critics would have you believe, but that's not to say it's good either.

This Movie in essence is A good,but not A great **** seems that the Movie gets progressively ridiculous and downright stupid in A few **** the Actors on the Movie are great and the acting was actually quite outstanding.
This Movie to Me suffers in the Audio department,The Rapper Xzibit has music throughout the movie in key parts,the trouble with that is one particular track not only starts from the opening credits,but continues and really after the first time that track grows tiresome and seems cheap.
The Story also gets off the rails,without saying anything Spoiler-wise there are scenes that will make you shake your head in utter amazement of what just **** can decide if it's for better or worse yourself,but I think that the Movie gets diluted A bit from this.
Overall,The Movie is far from A bad Movie with great Actors giving very good ****'s too bad the Soundtrack and exaggerated story line hurt it to the point that to Me will never be considered A true classic,just A good Saturday evening Movie that occasionally is shown on TV.
