Review:

Tim: Tony Scott tries to give us a different, stylized, action-packed movie, "loosely" based on the true story of Domino Harvey. The film certainly tries hard, although it often feels more like a music video than a movie. It overstimulates us, which results in the film feeling chaotic and disjointed, rather than well put together.

Keira Knightley does a good job as the titular heroine. She's by no means excellent, but I'm not sure too many other actresses could have pulled off being beautiful but also deadly. She has a good partner in Mickey Rourke. He gives a strong, charismatic performance. The rest of the cast is surprisingly good, adding quite a bit to the movie.

There are a few impressive action sequences, but on the whole, the movie is too gimmicky to be very good. It could and should have been much, much better.
