I had heard mixed reviews about Domino, and I can’t say I can do any better. I really wanted to like this movie - I mean, damn, Kiera Knightley with guns! The trailer was sort of misleading, though: she wasn’t shooting people nearly enough, and half of the movie was done in that style (which got old REAL quick). And what the hell was that thing with Tom Waits? The action movie suddenly turns into a Jesus movie.
Domino’s story is an interesting one, but I don’t feel it was told well. Seeing a crappy movie is one thing, but seeing a crappy movie that should have been good is just a disappointment, even is Kiera WAS prancing around with a shotgun.

Speaking of movies with promise that just let you down…The Boondock Saints.
Ugh, I still get sick to my stomach thinking about it.
The premise is pretty awesome. Drunk Irish guys get guns and get revenge for I can’t even remember what.
Friends raved that it was ‘the best movie ever’ but it was quite possibly the most terrible movie ever.
Bolshevism! Boondock Saints IS the best damn movie ever!
But I can see how it would be a letdown if people tell you that beforehand. And come to think of it, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen it sober.
Sobriety definitely makes a BIG difference.
We used to watch the movie ‘Friday’ after the bars every night in college (the first time) and we never got tired of it.
While it’s still a good movie, I think the first time I watched it sober, I turned it off before the end.
That was one movie that everyone in our apartment liked. I was really impressed with it. Clearly you have no taste in anything.
