Domino

[TB4000]

In the mood for mindless action tomorrow, so may give this a look. Reviews aren't the best, but we've spent money on stupider things, so you know.

If anyone does bother to see this, or download this, can you tell me what lucy liu's character does? I want to know if she'll shame Asian Americans again, or make us proud.

the girlfriend thought this was the same Domino from Marvel Comics. which, by the way, i would love it if they did do a movie on Domino from Marvel. not sure how they could do it without or with only a little mention of Cable.

Domino in this movie is based off of the "real" story of a female bounty hunter.

she also used to be a model. who died of a drug overdose recently.

keira knightly doesn't seem convincing as a bounty hunter...too girly, no street cred, heh...i'll pass.

[Faithless]

Did I hear the ads right that it's supposed to be based on a true story -- "sort of"?

Is that a lie?

This movie follows a good portion of her life but takes extreme creative liberties. I wonder if Tony Scott was doing too much cocaine when he directed this because it looks like a trainwreck. They actually had to work on the ending because Domino Harvey died in real life.

Ugh. Anything Rob Liefeld has had a role in creating outside of Deadpool should be tossed into a bag and then tossed into a river. Then, they would ideally hurl the river into space.

Knightly as a bounty hunter? Hahaha, seriously miscasted. I'm gonna pass on this too.

[TB4000]

Well, it was an interesting movie to say the least. They made fun of a lot of topics, including reality shows, 90210, and mixed race people. Black-tino and chi-negro to be precise.

The real Domino Harvey

Wow, the real deal.

[Pookie_gal]

I saw this purely out of interest, and 'cos there was nothing else good on show at the cinema. Thought it was interesting, but a bit flawed. Am surprised it got through the censors as it shows an Afghan suicide bomber blowing up a well-known building in Vegas.

Keira's portrayal of Domino wasn't all that. She's too pretty and well-bred to be a believable bounty hunter. I can see why Tony picked her, 'cos the real Domino was also well-bred and came from a good background. Also, the way the story went, it made it seem like Domino mainly became what she was because her goldfish died.

I also thought they could have gone into more detail about Domino's life. Yea, there were a few kick-ass scenes, and a few explosions here and there, but I'm sure the real Domino's life consisted of more than just that.

Lucy Liu's role in the film was being the detective that's here to question Keira/Domino. At one point, Domino points out that she (Lucy) probs lusts after her...but that's about it. She just does her job.

The actual direction of the film was ok - think Traffic and you get the picture. Overall, I'd give it a 5 out of 10 - interesting but not brilliant.

so what do keira's boobs look like? the butt was a stunt butt.

A girl in the movie referred to them as mosquito bites. She does have a topless scene, and I must say she was not too far off in that assumption.

[kimpossible]

Surprising. Her rack looked pretty plump in Pirates. Poor DaMuo. He'll be so disappointed and have to wait for juicy, young Anne Hathaway boobies in Havoc.

[Pookie_gal]

Her cleavage in Pirates was hugely accentuated by the balconette neckline, which tends to push everything up and together. Her boobs in Domino were her real 'unaccentuated' ones, I reckon. The lapdance still got my mate turned on tho...:tongue:

Maybe you should check out Pride & Prejudice - the costumes in that era would feature more balconette necklines. :biggrin:

I don't know if you've seen a picture of the real domino, but she must have been a hand or foot model cause I can't imagine her walking down the catwalk in milan. It's such a gimmick to say that she's a 'former' model though, sorta like falsely alluding to something,

[Faithless]

That movie seemed long. Watched on DVD.

The director managed to keep the story moving, though.

That lapdance to find-out the bad-guy -- pure fantasy. But hot nonetheless.

The Lucy Liu role was soooo uninteresting.
