- Synopsis:
The daughter of respected actor and matinee idol Lawrence Harvey and model turned socialite Sophie Wynn (Jacqueline Bisset), Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) was born into a life of wealth and privilege - a lifestyle that did not interest her. Even from her earliest years, Domino rebelled against convention and the jet set. At the tender age of eight her beloved father passed away and her mother looked to the stability of boarding school in a misguided attempt to tame her wild child. But nothing could repress Domino's fiery nature - not friendships, not school, not her mother's high society. Even the extraordinary excesses paraded before her during a brief stint at modeling paled in comparison to her own escapades. Not until she stumbled upon a job seminar recruiting aspiring bounty hunters was her thirst for excitement at long last quenched. To Sophie's horror, Domino not only fell in love with the job but also with her fellow adventurers, who over the years would become her family. - Actors:

Classy Crime Thriller - Domino review by GI
A crime thriller based very loosely on a true story and one of director Tony Scott's best films. It has a frenetic editing style, a rock video vibe and a hallucinogenic colour palette mixing black & white with bright sun drenched yellows and oranges. Keira Knightley plays the title role, a British socialite and former model bored and rebellious who joins the modern bounty hunting team led by Ed (Mickey Rourke). Along with Choco (Edgar Ramírez) and Alf (Rizz Abassi) they work for bail bondsman Claremont (Delroy Lindo). But its when Claremont devises a scam to steal mob money for his granddaughters hospital treatments that the team get themselves into hot water. It's a story of double cross and has a plot that is told with the aid of flashbacks and fast paced camerawork intermixed with slow motion. And it really works, making for a modern crime thriller that is adult, funny and at times very gritty. It identifies Scott as a film maker with a distinctive feel and a unique visionary way of putting a film together. The cast are impeccable and include Jacqueline Bisset, Lucy Liu, Christopher Walken, Mean Suvari and a cameo from musician Tom Waits. The soundtrack is great and it's a film that deserves a fresh audience if for no other reason than to highlight Tony Scott as a great director.
