Domino (2005) 7/10

Starring : Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Edgar Ramirez, Lucy Liu, Mena Suvari, Christopher Walken
Director : Tony Scott
Running Time : 128 mins

Domino Harvey (Knightley) is a bounty hunter who is hired, along with others, to appear in a new reality television show, titled Bounty Squad. They use the show as a cover for performing a major robbery, but upon discovering that two of the kids they've chosen as patsys have connections to the mob they realise that they may be in well over their heads.

Visually stylistic, this movie suffers from one minor drawback, and that's that Knightley isn't particularly believable in the role. There are some nice comedy moments mixed in with the violence, and despite a slightly disjointed story which felt like it needed more exploration, this is a sound movie which makes for fine viewing.
