This is a s**t movie, about a s**t person, who hasn't done s**t with her life, so why should we give a s**t!

"Domino" is a completely untrue telling of a real life Los Angeles bounty hunter, Domino Harvey, a woman and daughter of actor Laurence Harvey. This picture is billed as being based on a true story, but the Domino character opens saying she's going to lie about things in the movie's telling.

Eventually, after a string of impossible and embarrassing action sequences, Domino tells us if we want to know how much of the story is actually true, "F**k off. It's none of your business."

Are you kidding me? ARE YOU F**KING KIDDING ME?!!!!! We just spent two f**king hours of our lives to watch her story, spent $7-plus to see her story and THAT's what the audience gets to walk away with.

Making matters worse, director Tony Scott throws up an image of the real Domino Harvey, like I gave a f**ck by then, followed by the phrase "In Loving Memory, Domino Harvey."

I don't give a blue f**k about Domino, never did, and the movie doesn't change my opinion of her. Especially after the movie insults us with its material AND insulting us for even wondering how much of it is fact. F**k TONY SCOTT.

I must go take my blood pressure medicine before I continue this write up…

Okay, I'm back.

Scott's uses his same style from "Man On Fire," but it is one hundred times worse. "Man On Fire" had characters I was interested in. This had editing designed to send people into seizures. Anyone who suffers from epilepsy, DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE. You will be on the floor, foaming at the mouth in the first ten minutes.

After the picture becomes remotely watchable, maybe a half-hour through it, when we actually focus on the plot, I became somewhat interested; however, director Scott soon f**ked that up.

In the third act, a series of impossible events were thrown at the audience. For example, a motorhome carrying Domino, her two partners, two celebrity hostiages and the bounty hunter's driver runs off the road, is ejected into the air and flips end over end maybe ten times. Not only is no one in the motorhome killed, but also EVERYONE WALKS AWAY FROM THE CRASH WITHOUT EVEN A LIMP!!!!!!!!!! ARE YOU F**KING SERIOUS?!!!

Things continue to get worse. The three bounty hunters fall 20 stories in a free falling elevator. Again, no one is killed, and DOMINO WALKS AWAY WITHOUT EVEN A F**KING LIMP!

Director Scott lost all control of the ending of this picture, he had no clue what to do with it. So, what does he do? He has every one start unloading automatic weapons at each other. The bounty hunting team, the casino boss whom they sort-of ripped off and his croanies, the mob boss who thought his kids were murdered by the casino boss AND the FBI. The FBI even circled in a helicopter and began shooting into the Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas--here they staged the climax-when the shooting began. Yes, that's what the FBI does. When the shooting begins, they join in and start blasting at will. What the f**k?

It's as if Scott said, "Holy crap, I really destroyed this picture already. How do I get out of it? I know. I'll just have everyone died in a seas of bullets, a crashing chopper and a huge explosion at the top of the Stratosphere. People will be SO confused, they'll never realize how bad I f**ked this movie up, and how much I actually suck at this job!"

My advice to anyone thinking about seeing this movie? Stay home and j**k off. It's less expensive and takes less time.

Lastly, to the one total idiot who stood up in the cinema in Highlands Ranch, Colo., and clapped for this movie, you contribute as much to worthwhile society as a hangnail. You obviously want to suck Tony Scott's c**k. Why else would you applaud this movie, unless you wanted this director's b**ls rubbing on your face? F**k you too.
