This film is an action thriller. It is loosely based on the life of Domino Harvey who became a bounty hunter. She was the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey. Keira Knightly plays Domino Harvey.
The movie was all right. I thought Keira Knightly did a pretty good job, but it wasn't fantastic. I didn't really like the ending, I mean, it was good, but not what I expected. I don't think they properly portrayed the real life Domino Harvey. Keira Knightly as Domino Harvey. (Above)
About the Real Domino Harvey. (1969 - 2005)
Although there are model like pictures of the real Domino Harvey, it is not confirmed if she was  indeed a model at the Ford Agency or not. She was expelled from 4 schools for getting into fights. At first she was (apparently) a Ford model, but then she moved on to various jobs in various places before becoming a bounty hunter. She discovered it by seeing an advertisement in the paper for a bounty hunter seminar held by veteran Ed Martinez. (Played by Mickey Rourke in the film). Ed Martinez became her teacher and good friend. She was constantly in and out of rehab and eventually on May 4, 2005 she was arrested at her home on the belief that she was going to distripute over a pound of methamphetamines. During her wait for trial, under house arrest, she died. She was found in her bathtub. She died of an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl. She was 35. She appears at the end of the film. Above is Domino Harvey in 1994.
