 Domino
In one of her earliest recorded exploits, Domino was assigned to bodyguard a man named Milo Thurman, a genius prodigy in predicting world events and shifts in the balance of power between governments, from terrorists interested in his abilities.
Thurman and Domino's relationship, however, was destined to be short-lived, as a raid by the subversive organization A.I.M. on the government facility where Thurman was being held forced Thurman into even deeper government cover.
She confronted Domino what is to believed to be her past history, but Domino referred to it as "at least 80% wrong." Domino escaped but learned she was implanted with a device that disrupted her mutant powers over probability.

Domino, who had a history of drug addiction, died suddenly last June while awaiting trial on federal drug-trafficking charges.
Domino is played here by Keira Knightley, and our first glimpse of her is all ragamuffin glamour: She's been through something rough (her lip is bloodied; a cigarette dangles stylishly from her fingers), and she's being queried by a scary-sexy criminal psychologist (Lucy Liu) -- the lesbian undertones ring out like the Star Spangled Banner.

Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) is armed and dangerous as a model turned bounty hunter in Domino.
At one point in Domino, a reality-show producer (Christopher Walken) is described as having the attention span of "a ferret on crystal meth." I can't think of a better description for Scott, whose disdain for continuity grows with each passing film.

 Domino (2005): Keira Knightley, Mickey Rourke, Edgar Ramirez, Delroy Lindo - PopMatters Film Review
According to Domino, she early on missed her dead dad and disdained Sophie's "90210 world" (to demonstrate, the movie shows her mom asking teenaged Domino to stop playing -- expertly -- with her nun-chucks during a polite pool party).
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 actually fits into a genre that gets a lot of play in comics, the strong femme fatale action hero genre, but it's done in a way that is rarely seen in comics.
Domino is actually pretty butch for an action heroine, and while her sleek form and athletic build make her sexy, she doesn't wander around dressed in dental floss showing off that body...
Even moreso in the final sequence, where Domino's unconventional tactics in dealing with the helicopter required a couple readings for me before I got it, but turned out to be a pretty clever use of spy gadgets and whatever terrain was at hand.

 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.
The rest of Domino's cast has their little moments to shine, especially Edgar Martinez, who arguably gets the richest role, getting to play unrequited love and a little bit insane all at the same time.

 Weekend: 'Domino' falls
Domino focuses on a fictionalized Harvey working with two fictional comrades - Ed (Mickey Rourke) and Choco (Edgar Ramirez) - loosely based on real bounty hunters.
Best guess is he considers it his take on Adaptation and somehow intended to imbue some postmodern irony into a narrative that swipes its climax straight from Scott's own True Romance.
Domino is a film many thought would never get made.

 The Seattle Times: Movies: Jumbled imagery, plot points lead to "Domino" effect
For all the precision that went into creating its jittery grime, rancid color schemes and stylistically violent excess, you'd think that "Domino" was a study of life in some drug-crazed underworld.
But Domino also had a serious substance-abuse problem, which ultimately claimed her life last June and which the movie pointedly ignores.
The movie uses just the barest shred of Domino's real-life journey from pampered daughter of actor Laurence Harvey and a famous fashion model to streetwise bounty hunter, whose considerable martial-arts skills gained wide acclaim in her subculture world.

Domino was introduced to the X-Force a couple of years after I stopped reading Marvel as a kid because it started to suck.
So Domino was introduced, became a major character, and dropped back into the sidelines, all during my break.
And her powers are still a little bit mysterious...they haven't really dug that deep into her yet...(get yer head outta the gutter)...she is an interesting character, but being Cable's onagain offagain sidekick cramped her independent mag hopes.

Domino's narration ensues, but not all of it is directed at her interrogator; at one point, to emphasize that she isn't going to die during the course of her story, she says, "This ain't Sunset Boulevard," a reference to the Billy Wilder film narrated by a corpse.
The seminar turns out to be a scam, but before those responsible can get away, Domino catches up to them, making an impression with her knife-throwing skills and low-riding jeans that flaunt butt crack.

Ever since I was introduced to her back in New Mutants, I've thought she was a great character.
The art was atrocious (it looks a lot like the art in the Kingpin series), but I would have forgiven that if the story was good--it wasn't.
Did she quick run from the facility to the morgue down the road, come back, paint the body, and switch it with where she was supposed to be?

 UGO.com Film/TV - Domino DVD Review - UGO Hearts Domino
The effects that are beamed out from this feature add a ton of tension and distance from reality in spots, which works quite well intermittently throughout the film.
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.
The feature "I Am A Bounty Hunter: Domino Harvey's Life" adds a deeper level of connection to the film and to the protagonist herself.
