'Domino'
(Keira Knightley, Mena Suvari, Christopher Walken, Lucy Liu, Mickey Rourke, et al / R / 85 mins / New Line)
Overview: Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley), a former model and the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey, leaves her life of luxury in Beverly Hills to become a bounty hunter. Along with her partner, Ed Martinez, she spends the next three years firing off countless rounds of ammo in south Los Angeles.
Verdict: 'Domino' is full of possibilities. Frustratingly, only a few of them are realized! 'Domino' will either fire every last synapse in your brain or have you fleeing in agony come the final frame of this quick-jerk filmed montage. But, whilst this dark and absurd melodrama certainly has raw energy, each and every of the actors' nuances get lost in oh-so-many violent complications. Basically, 'Domino' is fatally hip and lethally numb!
