What happens

Domino is a 2005 action crime film directed by Tony Scott with a screenplay by Richard Kelly from a story by Kelly and Steve Barancik. An international co-production between France, the United States, and the United Kingdom, the film is inspired by Domino Harvey, the English daughter of stage and screen actor Laurence Harvey, who became a Los Angeles bounty hunter. Its plot flashes back as Domino (Keira Knightley), a fashion-model-turned-bounty-hunter, narrates how a $10 million robbery came about 36 hours before. Supporting actors include Mickey Rourke, Édgar Ramírez, Delroy Lindo, Mena Suvari, Mo'Nique, Lucy Liu, and Christopher Walken. The film is dedicated to Harvey, who died at age 35 from an overdose of fentanyl on 27 June 2005, a few months before the film was released. The film received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized its plot as overly complicated and excessive. The film bombed at the box office, making $23.5 million on an estimated $50 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
