This is a brutal, lurid, and romantic take on Domino's life. It's also a compelling film in its structure and challenge to conventions. But it's not suitable for children and will trouble some adults. The movie comes hard and fast, a two-hour assault of broken bodies, harsh lights, gun blasts, and tabloidy effects structured as a jaunty, uneven flashback.
Domino is not interested in legalities, facts, or justice. While its focus is surely erratic, it might be best described as a reflection on media's exploitative chronicling of crashes between the filthy rich and the dirty underclass.
When she appears at the very end of Tony Scott's raucous film, her shaved head, pale complexion, and large eyes hardly match the movie's version of Domino, perfectly coiffed, extravagantly made-up, and gorgeous, in the person of Keira Knightley. Even as it grants the film an unearned weight, this last portrait, brief and haunting, also underlines the movie's point: show biz kills.
