Awful!
The truly and terrifyingly terrible nature of ‘Domino’ is largely due to how much effort has actually gone into making it, when everyone involved could have been doing something productive, like cobbling shoes. Every minute has on average (and I counted) about 28,000 different shots, as if every scene is being devoured by thousands of camera-eyed piranhas.
“What’s it about then?”
They’re all bounty hunters or something, and Keira Knightley is one too, then a room full of Hispanic gangstas point their guns at them, so she asks:
“Would you like a lapdance?”
then gets down to business, while you stare into the soulless abyss of her eyes, and wonder if Tony Scott thought that his technical proficiency elevated this film above the wank encrusted ‘Babes and Guns’ poster that it clearly is.
It’s the rock-fusion of film:
Lots of notes – no song
Pissing testosterone like a busted dick.
Domino . 2005 . Tony Scott
