Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

It's fractured and maddening, but it's alive. Read full review

Kyle Smith

Among the year's ultraviolent pulp movies, "Sin City" was prettier and "The Devil's Rejects" more focused. Read full review

Dallas Observer Luke Y. Thompson

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

Kenneth Turan

So over-plotted that it's borderline incomprehensible. Read full review

Mike Clark

You can't accuse this film of bogging down in cheap psychology, yet you come out dissatisfied and without a clue about what made this person tick. Read full review

Premiere Peter Debruge

I suspect Scott sees Domino as the ultimate provocation, his way of grabbing Hollywood by the throat and shouting, "You want reality??! I'll give you REALITY!!!" Sort of. Read full review

David Edelstein

Domino seemed to me the end of the world for movies--a glimpse of a future so excruciating that I'd prefer to take my chances with Hitchcock's eye-gouging avians. Read full review

This Movie in essence is A good,but not A great one.It seems that the Movie gets progressively ridiculous and downright stupid in A few parts.All 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 transpired.You 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 performances.It'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.… Expand

I don't know who has control over these things, but someone needs to fire Tony Scot. I mean this is getting ridiculous. What was once over the top directing is now just flat out stupidity. And has anyone else noticed that this is the third Tony Scott movie to have the same 3+ party I don't know who has control over these things, but someone needs to fire Tony Scot. I mean this is getting ridiculous. What was once over the top directing is now just flat out stupidity. And has anyone else noticed that this is the third Tony Scott movie to have the same 3+ party shootout ending where everyone shows up looking to settle a deal and theres unexpected company? Avoid this headache.… Expand

Where to begin? Knightley is absurd and utterly unbelievable as a badass; you just keep seeing her in some upscale, tony British acting academy practicing her snarl in the mirror. In fairness, she is hung out to dry by the asinine screenplay. In fairness, the screenplay is butchered Where to begin? Knightley is absurd and utterly unbelievable as a badass; you just keep seeing her in some upscale, tony British acting academy practicing her snarl in the mirror. In fairness, she is hung out to dry by the asinine screenplay. In fairness, the screenplay is butchered (literally) by the desperate-to-be-cool directing and acting. Scott has been great before (SPY GAME, MAN ON FIRE, almost), but his increasing use of gratuitous subtitles is disturbing. It reminds one of those old Sesame Street skits where the silhouetted adult profil would sound out a word and it would fly from their mouth on screen. Why all these words on screen, Tony? Get out of the way of your own film; if this film and script had any substance at all, it would have been drowned by all the chintzy style. But maybe that is what a director does when he has a miscast lead and incoherent script-- better off not making the debacle. All the cameos and trick editing can't mask the stupidity; films are still about TELLING STORIES at heart, and this one makes no sense whatsoever.… Expand
