i read several mixed review and several of them downright trash the movie . i originally become interested in this project because it be be direct by tony scott and i have become very interested in his work after man on fire have such a profound impact on me . before i start my review and let me first say this . it wonderful to see that this movie could have be tell in a boring and ordinary manner and yet the writer and scott choose a different approach . plot representsimply state and it not bore . most hollywood movie give tried and true plot that they know will connect with people and often ensure the audience acceptance of the film and create a high probability of profit . this plot be one of the more interesting one i have see in a while . just for reference and i recently watch the weather man and lord of war and while i will say that these movie be excellent and and i enjoy them both tremendously and both the plot in these movie be bore and they be tell exactly how you would expect them to be tell . they do not take any chance whatsoever and and they be extremely predictable after you have watch a fair amount of american film . domino plot be both interesting and tell in a manner that keep you think and oh man and theyre screw now . and i feel that have be lack in a lot of recent film . it have a lot of depth to it and in my opinion and and give you plenty of thing to question while watch it . overall and this be what keep me so interested in the movie . character representi felt that the character be accurate . knightley do a wonderful job of portray a beautiful woman and who be anything but on the inside and want to be view a what she be . it be obvious that she want to prove herself and she take whatever mean she have to accomplish that . choco be also very believable and his use of spanish in inappropriate situation and his reaction to domino lack of affection and as well a his jealousy issue within the team . they all ring true to me and which make me feel that his character be that much more realistic . rourke character be the least interesting to me and but it still ring true to me . he seem like an ordinary guy and try to make ends meet . i hope that what the filmmaker be try to accomplish with him because that what i get out of it . he do a very good job of show ed in an average joe kind of way that have make his mistake and yet be still try to live . claremont or lady represent i believe that they provide much need heart to the story . they weren not just people who be out get money to buy a bentley and these be real people who have a real problem and they seek others mean to accomplish that goal . you could empathize with them because and to them and this child illness be a problem with no other solution . these character be suppose to show real people who be less fortunate who get into this mess because they need help . the mobster represent they make the story seem sinister in a way that only the mob can . and i really like that part . they also pad the story with small intricacy that make the plot that much more interesting . christopher walken/90210 guy representthey provide the comic relief in an otherwise very serious movie . from walken awkward statement to the ceaseless reference to the 90210 guy be have beens . their involvement in the movie only make it that much more enjoyable . cinematography . yes . the cinematography . this be where this movie seem to have lose a lot of potential fan . but in my opinion i think it be genius and the use of the camera to translate the mood of the current situation be extremely effective in my opinion . i consider it a method that be properly realize but could always use improvement and just like anything else . i both applaud and congratulate scott and the editor and the cinematographer and the director of photography on take some real chance with this movie . not only do they go far and above with it presentation and they go that much further . the use of color and both extremely light and extremely dark provide the look of the film with a sinister and grungy look that accurately depict the life of the mob and bounty hunter and the less fortunate in a manner that show that their life isn not a peachy or clean a everyone else . if you notice and in time of less stress or conflict and there be very few camera trick if any at all . this show that scott and his crew be try to achieve something with this look and weren not just do it for the heck of it . i realize that most people who watch this movie weren not expect it and it cause many of them to be turn off to this film but i think it be great that scott take this approach . hollywood film have grow predictable and bland . most of them be shoot in the same manner with the same twist and turn . and i be glad that scott try to make something different . grant and this movie isn not for everyone and but to say it trash and have nothing to offer be completely miss the point . i thoroughly enjoy this film and i be glad that i spend the money for it . i would recommend this to all and but i be sure it will only hit a chord with few . i must agree with an early poster when he say that many of those who refuse to see outside the phere of mtv would not appreciate this movie and but i think many people will . we should all try to enjoy it for the fact that scott and co. take some chance and try to deliver something that be different and unique . and with that in mind and i think he succeed tremendously .
