Domino: Rourke just keeps getting prettier . . .

Posted by mr grits on October 16, 2005 at 18:23:40

Tony Scott decided to do an exercise in style and grit: frenetic editing, rewinds, handheld, grainy, and plenty of seamy ugliness. Domino is the hardly-based-on-any-real-story of the alleged daughter of Laurence Harvey who came to Hollywood with her mom after his death in England. Domino becomes a rebel, gets kicked out of a few schools, and starts looking for something exciting to do in the real world. Enter Rourke, Delroy Lindo, and two hired guys (Choco and Alf the Afghan). She haphazardly joins the crew and starts a career that is nearly ended with an infringement on "the mob" which is mostly what the movie covers. Action and violence lovers will be satiated and we learn, along the way that "everybody knew Frank Sinatra".

Overall, it was a good story but somewhat tedious to sit through. I don't want to be spoon-fed a story but I would appreciate not getting motion sickness from all the style and art.
