If your standard fare action movie is popcorn for the brain, Domino is that multi-coloured, candy coated popcorn, washed down with copious amounts of Red Bull. Director Tony Scott takes us on a colour saturated, slow-motion-epileptic fit of a movie that shows us another side of Keira Knightly.

Keira plays bored rich kid gone bad in this adaptation of true events. Domino as she is known shuns her silver spoon life for that of the excitement and danger of a bounty hunter.

Teamed up with a couple of rough necks, her crew soon gets a name for themselves, and as luck would have it, a “reality TV” gig.

But all is not as it seems, especially not if you’re the viewer. Viewed through flashbacks, we start near the end, in what looks like a hyped up, predictable ending. But the ending as it turns out is anything but.

With a Red Bull infused pace, domino keeps you glued for just over two hours, with a mixture of rich visuals, plenty of music, and an endless supply of action.

Word of warning for the tame of heart, the language and violence is as colourful as the over saturated hues of this rampant montage, and it will offend some people.

Food for thought
Bored with life, Domino looks for an escape in the hazy life of a Bounty Hunter, but in the end she finds her redemption in the life of another. Are you living a life worth dying for, or are you just along for the ride?
