Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke and Edgar Ramirez play in Domino.

Plot: Domino is based on the life or a real female bounty hunter. The film portrays how she became a bounty hunter and what she might have encountered.

What I thought: The opening credits were long and once the movie started my first thought was that Keira Knightley is an insanely annoying screamer. The storyline would be interesting if it didn't keep getting interrupted by back-stories and side stories that are irrelevant and boring. I could easily see someone getting tired of this movie for that fact and not sitting through the whole movie (perhaps a good time to change the laundry).
On the other hand once the film gets past all the unneeded material it is a good movie. It just takes awhile to get there. The cinematography is wonderful and has brilliant directing. Domino has a great cast with professional acting and there are a lot of big name cameo's throughout the film. It boasts a great soundtrack and the extras have a featurette on Domino Harvey's Life (the making of) that is pretty interesting.

This is a good movie to see when you're not in any particular mood, maybe a lazy one and that way you'll sit through the boring parts.

Domino Snack Attack: "A double of whatever he's having".
