The only hope I had for Domino was the fact that Mickey Rourke was in it. After that… Keira Knightley looked hot… but so what? I can look at hot pictures of her online all day for free if I wanted to. Still… I had hope… but…
The Domino reviews are coming in now, and they look just about as ugly as I feared they would. As of right now it’s holding a mere 16% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.. .and that my friends is UGLY.
Here are some of the things the critics are saying:
“A hopeless mess of never ending exposition and random, completely unrelated side trips into useless minutia.”
Joshua Tyler, CINEMABLEND.COM“It’s the tale of a real person in only the most abstract, opportunistic way, since what Scott has done is to pin the scandal label of ‘true story’ onto his most fractiously vapid action film since Beverly Hills Cop II.”
Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY“A completely incoherent mess, told exclusively in two-second segments.”
Steve Rhodes, INTERNET REVIEWS“Worse than the violence and the language is the cinematography… quick cuts and super close-ups and cameras circling subjects as they speak. It’s downright annoying.”
Tony Medley, TOLUCAN TIMES
uh huh… that’s what I thought. Oh well… I’m still going to check it out. Look for my review on Monday.
