Keira Knightley’s Action-Packed ‘Domino’ Now Free to Stream!

by

The swashbuckling actress Keira Knightley’s critically panned action thriller is aiming for free streaming. Set against a backdrop of real events, the 2005 film tells the story of Knightley transitioning from her modeling career to become a bounty hunter instead, leaving the catwalk behind.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I’m excited to share that the late Tony Scott’s film, “Domino,” is loosely inspired by the life of Domino Harvey, the daughter of renowned actor Laurence Harvey. After abandoning her career in fashion modeling, she transitioned into the world of L.A. bounty hunting. This gripping tale, starring an illustrious cast including Mickey Rourke, Édgar Ramírez, Delroy Lindo, Mena Suvari, Mo’Nique, Lucy Liu, Christopher Walken, and Keira Knightley, will be available to stream for free starting from March 1st on the platform . For more details about this intriguing movie, you can find the official synopsis below.

In this movie inspired by real events, Keira Knightley plays Domino Harvey, a former model who’s now a bounty hunter. She gets arrested for an armored car robbery and during questioning, she swears her innocence and shares her tale. Harvey learned the ropes from Ed Moseby (Mickey Rourke), who ran a training program for aspiring bounty hunters. Alongside Choco (Edgar Ramírez), they formed a formidable team. However, when a bondman proposed a job, they found themselves entangled in a convoluted setup.

‘Domino’ Proved Divisive Among Critics & Audiences at the Time

The movie “Domino” was heavily criticized upon its debut, earning a poor rating of 18% on Rotten Tomatoes. Despite having mixed reactions from audiences, it still couldn’t escape being labeled as “rotten,” with a score of 56% on the Popcornmeter. Critics’ consensus states that the biopic about model-turned-bounty-hunter Domino Harvey was weighed down by excessive dramatization.

Although Keira Knightley went to great lengths for her role and director Tony Scott did their best, the film “Domino” was still a significant disappointment at the box office. With an action-thriller genre, it managed to earn only $23.5 million globally against its production budget of approximately $50 million. Nevertheless, now that it’s available for free streaming, it’s worth taking another look.

Known primarily for her portrayal of Elizabeth Swann in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, actress Keira Knightley has once again ventured into realms of firearms, duplicity, and mayhem, this time with Netflix’s spy series titled Black Doves. Fortunately, Knightley’s action-packed performance in this show has garnered more positive responses, earning an impressive 94% approval rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Knightley’s portrayal of Helen, a secret agent who is the wife of the Secretary of Defense, even earned her a Golden Globe nomination. Since then, Black Doves has been officially renewed for a second season.
