The (mostly) true story of a Hollywood princess turned bounty hunter is told in this witty
action-
drama from director
Tony Scott.
Domino Harvey (
Keira Knightley) was the daughter of famed actor
Laurence Harvey (played by
Jesse Pate) who passed on when
Domino was only eight years old.
Domino's mother, former fashion model
Paulene Stone (played by
Jacqueline Bisset and renamed ( Sophie Wynn) in the film), strove to give her daughter a comfortable life, but
Domino was naturally rebellious, and after a contentious stint in boarding school, a brief career as a runway model, and a fling with the fashion business,
Domino was looking for something more exciting. She found it when he met
Ed Mosbey (
Mickey Rourke), an ex-con who had gone on to a successful career as a "bail recovery agent" -- in short, a bounty hunter.
Ed also taught others how to join his profession, and
Domino took his course and joined his team, along with
Choco (
Edgar Ramirez), a headstrong bail agent who took an immediate fancy to
Domino.
Domino,
Ed, and
Choco became a successful team -- successful enough that television producer
Mark Heiss (
Christopher Walken) asked them to become the subject of a television reality series. However, it was after the cameras were turned on
Domino that her life got truly crazy. Bail bondsman
Claremont Williams III (
Delroy Lindo) had hired
Domino and her friends for a risky case, and soon
Domino,
Ed, and
Choco were chasing missing men and money while landing in hot water with both the
FBI and the Mafia.
Domino was loosely based on
Domino Harvey's real life story; sadly her personal life was as reckless as her career, and
Domino died as a result of drug abuse on June 27, 2005, after this film was completed. The film also features
Lucy Liu,
Mena Suvari,
Macy Gray, and
Dabney Coleman.
