Domino (2005)
Thursday, March 2nd, 2006Domino, give the goddamn numchucks a rest already.
Somewhere, there is a legion of meth addicts for whom this movie makes perfect sense. For the rest of us, Tony Scott’s pseudo-biography of real-life model-turned-bounty-hunter Domino Harvey, with its jittery editing style, hyperactive filtering and other camera tricks, is an entertaining, baffling assault on the eyeballs.
This film claims to be “inspired” by actual events, but whatever events inspired it, I am doubtful that they had anything to do with the real Domino Harvey. It’s true that there was a bounty hunter who was the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey (The Manchurian Candidate) and who gave up a career as a model to chase down bail jumpers, but from that point forward, this movie and reality part company as suddenly as Nick and Jessica.
