What Parents Need to Know
About Domino
Parents need to know that this movie isn't for kids. Violent in content and form, it features murders by a variety of means (shootings, explosions, knifings, bare-hands and martial-artsy assaults). Its look is grainy and harsh, and its editing is very fast and aggressive, matching the storyline. Characters drink, do hallucinogenic drugs (resulting in a scene in van and then, after it crashes, in a desert), and smoke, lots. The film features a lap dance by Domino, and shots of her bottom "crack" under low-rise jeans, ogled by tattooed bounty hunters at a meeting.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the familial relationships that develop in the film. As Domino rejects her fashion model mother (and continues to mourn the death of her father), she finds a second supportive unit in the bounty hunters. How does the movie suggest that Domino, for all the difficulties of her life as a bounty hunter, finds a perverse peace and sense of understanding among these rough types? How does the movie use the framing device -- the interview with the FBI agent -- to provide Domino's point of view? Is this an effective device, given the harrowing chaos of the story she tells?

I Got a Headache Watching This Movie
While I have to give the movie credit for being filmed in a unique style and color, the color and slightly hallucinatory feel of the screen almost gave me a headache from watching it. It doesn't help that it wasn't a very good movie anyways, and the only reason I even gave it two stars was for the "artistic" way it was filmed (though the movie is anything but), and the fact that I could see how the movie was supposed to work on a whole. However, most of the scenes that were supposed to add depth to the movie were disconnected and so contrived that while you're watching it, you're too busy thinking "Haven't I seen this a hundred times already?" to pay attention to what's going on. Content-wise, the language is the main thing to be worried about, with over a hundred "f*cks" and a lot of other words-- but language is unavoidable in most cases if you are in highschool or up. As for the sex, CSM must not have watched the whole thing: yes, there was a lap dance, but another character also watched a porn movie (yes we saw parts of it), they go to a strip club with obvious, nudity-induced results, and two characters have sex (albeit in a rather odd place), and we see breasts and lots of groping and passionate kissing. However, I will say, for a movie about bounty hunters, there isn't too much violence, (bits sprinkled here and there), except near the end, where every jumbled excuse for a plotline comes together in a big mess of a gunfight/conclusion.
