This is based on the more-or-less true story of Domino Harvey, the daughter of actor Laurence Harvey, whose short, reckless life led her to a career as a bounty hunter. The script plays it fast and loose - real loose - so Scott goes all-out on style - amped-up, strung-out and gritty. It looks like a movie with tattoos and nicotine stains and dirt under its fingernails. Keira Knightley plays Domino, and you wouldn't recognize her, either, most of the way. She's a world away from "Atonement" and "Anna Karenina" and "Pirates of the Caribbean". (If watching Keira Knightley perform a lap dance is on your bucket list, you can check that off here.) The real Domino Harvey died from a drug overdose not long after the picture wrapped.
