	Domino Harvey:: New Movie Trailers: Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Lucy Liu, Mena Suvari Movies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The daughter of respected actor and matinee idol Lawrence Harvey, and model turned socialite Sophie Wynn, Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) was born into a life of wealth and privilege a lifestyle that did not interest her.
		Domino finds her true calling and joins a colorful band of reprobates that includes her wolfish yet formidable ex-con boss, Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke); Choco (Edgar Ramirez), a ruggedly sexy Latino who secretly worships Domino; and Alf (Rizwan Abbasi), an Afghani ex-pat obsessed with explosives.
		When his plan goes awry, Domino and her team blast their way out of a complex FBI investigation, led by criminal psychologist Taryn Miles (Lucy Liu), that involves the mob, a couple of errant college students and some 'greazee' white trash thieves.

	A FromTheBalcony Review: Domino (2005) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The film is taken aboard a ship, headed back to its native galaxy with one souvenir from Earth to judge its entire population by.
		Domino Harvey was a real person (she died shortly after filming completed under “mysterious circumstances”).
		As the film portrays her, she is not the least bit likeable, but more of an obnoxious tomboy who just won’t shut the hell up.

	Film Review **: ‘Domino’ Hits a Cinematic Bull’s-Eye - The Tech (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)*
		Domino, played with rebellious fire by Kiera Knightley, turned her back on a privileged life and became one of the most notorious bounty hunters in Los Angeles, hunting down society’s nastiest criminals and bringing them to the law.
		She never had a reality TV show, but Domino was a person who could and would convey a certain image of herself in hopes of becoming a legend, a trait she apparently inherited from her father.
		Domino girded herself for several personal battlefronts, including suing publications for describing her as a lesbian, breaking her drug addiction for good, and creating a documentary of her life.

	Domino film review
		Domino never satisfactorily attempts to explore how the well educated daughter of a famous actor and a Ford supermodel became immersed in the violent and insalubrious profession of bounty hunting.
		Instead it glibly suggests the reason Domino's life spiraled out of control was due to the death of her pet goldfish.
		To further complicate things, Domino and her partners are the subject of a reality TV series produced by the maniacal Mark Heiss (Christoper Walken) and presented by a pair of Beverly Hills 90210 stars Brian Austen Green and Ian Ziering.

	CANNES 1998
		All of these films used Domino, which was launched in 1993 by Quantel, and which for the first time allowed filmmakers to be wholly interactive with their post-production product, with results displayed and replayed at real time (24 frames per second) at film quality.
		Domino was used for the more complex tracking and composition shots such as the pilgrims approaching the Potala — the Dalai Lama's spectacular mountain-top palace and the blizzard scenes.
		Domino also enhanced a scene in which martyrs are burnt at the stake by creating additional flames and heat haze.

	History in the Movies
		Domino, the film, is fast, funny, and weirdly mesmerizing, as well as violent, disjointed, and often incoherent.
		Domino worked briefly as a model, before answering an advertisement to become a bounty hunter at a bail bonds agency.
		There was nothing real in the film's escapades involving celebrity hostages, armored truck robberies, thieves dressed as the First Ladies, spectacular RV crashes in the Nevada desert, and the destruction of Las Vegas's Stratosphere Hotel.

	Hour.ca - Film - Domino
		Domino became a bisexual party girl, then a DJ, a club manager, a junkie, a ranch hand, a bounty hunter, a convicted drug dealer and, finally, at the age of 35, the victim of a Fetanyl overdose.
		It seems Domino is an ambitious telling of a young woman in different facets of a troubled person who dies at a young age due to a drug overdose.
		However, this is a well written film, with an all star cast that leaves all of their cinematic talents on the screen for all to watch.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Domino (2005), Tony Scott, Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, dvd review
		Domino Harvey, who passed away this past June at age 35, was the very real daughter of actor Laurence Harvey (best known as the hypnotized killer in The Manchurian Candidate).
		Apparently, she had worked with director Tony Scott on the film of her life for over a decade, and it was rumored that she was unhappy with it.
		Domino herself appears briefly at the film's conclusion, a single shot broken up into several cuts for no apparent reason, and she remains a mystery.

	Domino (2005): Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Edgar Ramirez, Delroy Lindo - PopMatters Film Review
		Intimidated and titillated by Ed, they don't much pretend to be fearless, and Ziering complains loudly when Domino breaks his nose for asking about her "performance." The dilemma of playing yourself -- in various senses -- pops up frequently in the film, as Domino both blows off and embraces her scandalous fate simultaneously.
		Sure, Domino is sad when her goldfish dies and you get the point of an impending end, but the image is dropped in the mix along with everything else, none of it sustained as conventional plot.
		Domino maps mythology, not as a means to heroic or sympathetic characters, and certainly not to narrative resolution.

	Domino - Review - Almost unreal??
		Domino Harvey was (according to the film) a rich girl gone bad.
		Domino cut her hair off, developed a bit of a bad attitude and decided she wanted to be a Bounty Hunter.
		Domino had serious issues with heroin and cocaine and actually died before the film was released.

		Domino tells her own side of the story in excerpts of interview footage, boasting of how she could wheedle her way out of life-threatening situations just "with a smile".

		A pint-sized Domino terrorises the nanny in one of seven deleted scenes for which Scott provides optional commentary.

	Domino (2005): Reviews
		When a film is more conducive to a scholarly dissection than a consumerist examination, the film is incredibly clever, pragmatic, or pretentious.
		Domino should have been a terrific anti-heroine, but the movie never gets deep enough inside this walking time bomb to reveal what makes her tick.
		Domino de-emphasizes the human element--not to mention such niceties as plot and clarity--to such a degree that only those who show up purely to watch combustibles go "boom" won't feel insulted.

	Domino :: Film Review :: ABC North Qld
		Domino Harvey was the daughter of English actor Laurence Harvey.
		A postscript to the film is that the real Domino, seen at the very end, died earlier this year from an overdose.
		For example, after a major roadside accident, Domino and her bounty hunter pal Choco emerge from the wreck and proceed to have sex in the blistering heat of the desert...with other people, including ex cast members of "Beverly Hills 90210" watching on.

	Domino - The Hollywood News - www.TheHollywoodNews.com - The Ultimate News and Previews Website
		Domino is the latest hyper kinetic offering from director Tony Scott, and the best praise I can offer up, is that the erratic, stylistic choices made to tell this story of real life bounty hunter Domino Harvey don’t distract from the film as they did in Man on Fire – they are the film.
		In spite of the fiction that was written in and around this film - Domino goes near the top of the “life is stranger than fiction” file and let the record show that this woman and her story are real and sadly she died just a few short months ago.
		Domino might draw comparisons to a number of other pictures including Oliver Stone’s Natural Born Killers and Scott’s own take on the Quentin Tarantino scripted True Romance, but it doesn’t capture the satire of the first or the energy of the latter.

	Review: Domino
		Domino is loosely based on the true story of Domino Harvey (Kiera Knightley), the modern-day bounty hunter who recently died of a painkiller overdose.
		Domino is a disaffected young woman when she joins the bounty hunting team of Ed (Mickey Roarke) and Choco (Edgar Ramirez).
		It involves obtaining $300,000 by fraudulent means, and Domino and her partners end up in the middle of a mess that involves mobsters and a pissed-off billionaire.

	Cinema Strikes Back - Covering the World of Film » See Domino a Second Time
		The real life Domino Harvey was on and off set during the making of it and privy to all the screenplay drafts and really loved what she read and saw and the direction it was going in.
		So you have the POV of watching the film as this big mescaline trip Domino is on while being interrogated… or that the film itself is just a dream interpretation of her life (Tom Waits in particular was singled out as possibly being a figment of complete imagination).
		Regardless, if you go into Domino expecting a Hill Street Blues by the number take on her life, that is grounded in some sorta reality… you’ll be confused and angry when you walk out, especially if you don’t catch the film is all one big lucid mescaline fever dream.

	Domino: New Line Platinum Series (2005): Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Edgar Ramirez, Delroy Lindo - PopMatters Film ...
		Structured as a jaunty, uneven flashback ("I'll tell you what I know," says Domino, meaning, of course, that all you see is limited in perspective and history), it reimagines Domino's life story as she explains it to exquisite FBI Agent Taryn Miles (Lucy Liu).
		Domino disdains Sophie's "90210 world" (to demonstrate, the movie shows her mom asking teenaged Domino to stop "playing" with her nun-chucks during a genteel pool party).
		Domino expresses sadness when her goldfish dies (which points to her own impending end), but the image is dropped in the mix along with everything else, none of it sustained as conventional plot.

	Domino Film Review - Time Out Film
		Based on the life of the now deceased daughter of Laurence Harvey, star of the original ‘Manchurian Candidate’, who swapped her privileged Beverly Hills upbringing for the down-and-dirty world of bounty hunting, this ‘punk rock fever dream’ mainlines more fiction than fact, playing like a distended acid trip.
		As Domino, Keira Knightley bristles with credible tomboy spunkiness, shedding Liz Bennet’s corsets and much more besides, to hold her macho own alongside tough guy cohorts Ed (Mickey Rourke) and Choco (Edgar Ramirez) as they star in their own reality TV show and try to retrieve $10 million in mob money from a botched heist.
		In a film of bludgeoning visual excess, Scott’s fevered, cutting-edge stylings – hand-cranked cameras, jittery zooms, epileptic editing – are even more jacked up than normal, producing near sensory overload.

	UGO.com Film/TV - Domino DVD Review - UGO Hearts Domino
		However, 15 minutes into the film, there is a searing realization that the performances are going to be overshadowed by director Tony Scott's aggressive visual translation of the story.
		In this one, as with most deleted cuts with optional commentary, we hear such behind-the-scenes goodness as why once scene made it into the film and why another one didn't and why one version was used and the other was left by the wayside.
		While we can safely say that Domino isn't a literal translation of a true story, an element of cool realism is maintained throughout, just enough to keep the real Domino Harvey on set for most of the shooting before her untimely death in real life.

	UGO.com Film/TV - Domino Review - UGO Hearts Domino
		Domino, the latest action extravaganza from director Tony Scott, won't make any critics awards lists or be allowed anywhere near the Oscars' red carpet, but it will definitely find a comfortable spot on the DVD shelves of red-blooded men worldwide for a long time to come.
		Domino and her partners (Mickey Rourke and Edgar Martinez) also have a brief moment in the celebrity spotlight as the stars of their own reality show, hosted by 90210 stars Brian Austin Green and Ian Ziering.
		When you pack a film to the bloody brim with this much action and personality, it's easy for the characters to fade away into nothingness, and Domino could have been a better film if Scott hadn't allowed that to happen.

	Domino - Middletown Journal movie review \| ajc.com
		Domino Harvey was a real person — a former model and the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey, who is most famous as the title character of 1962's "The Manchurian Candidate." Disaffected as a youth, she made a bizarre turn from modeling into bounty hunting.
		Unfortunately, the film does not serve Harvey's memory well, in that it doesn't tell me much more about her than I could glean from the trailers: wild child lives hedonistic life as a bounty hunter before it all goes south.
		For much of the film, Domino, played by Keira Knightley, is like a bit player in her own story.
