Keira Knightley is Domino
Domino Reviews
The first review for Domino previewed
is actually the 2nd review from the entertainment site AICN.
Though their first review gushed positive feelings towards the film, this
2nd go completely blasts it.
In Harry’s review, he called Domino
a Keira Knightley exploitation flick. I beg to differ. It’s we, the audience,
who are being exploited. Domino is a total hoodwink. You might even walk
out of the theater saying positive things, but let it sit for a while. You
won’t remember it. It is an utterly forgettable film experience. A movie
that could’ve been so much more, if Scott had paid attention to the old
saying, “less is more.”
Guys, Harry’s opinion means a lot to me. He’s honestly the first critic
I wanna hear from when reading up on a movie. Just because I write for the
site doesn’t mean you should take that lightly. But on this one, he’s way
off. Domino fails on nearly every level. Not even Donnie Darko
himself could pick up this fallen Domino.
Eesh, not a positive review in the slightest. Is
the second review 'alerted' to us a saving grace for Domino? Well,
not exactly. According to Joblo,
there are many other Scott films you should prefer to see over this.
Oh, and even though Knightley apparently employed
the use of an “ass-double” for her lap-dance scene (why would
you admit to that?), she pulls a JACKET on us and shows us her boobies in
the end anyway. What’s up with that?!? Very odd, and yet oddly enough…greatly
appreciated! A decent flick that should have been amazing, but doesn’t
make it all the way with a lack of focus on its main characters, a story
that goes through too many puzzles and a runtime that outlasts itself. Also,
the Tom Waits “cameo” in the end was idiotic and out of place.
That said, some good times can still be had inside, so play it by ear and
make your own decision on this one.
Expect a couple more reviews to head our way for Domino before
its release this weekend.
Domino comes to theatres on October 14th.
