Domino

About This Movie

So, 'Domino' is quite the piece. Directed by Brian De Palma, it has this gritty, almost tactile feel that’s hard to shake off. The story follows a Copenhagen cop diving deep into a dark world after his partner’s murder, which definitely gives it this urgent, haunting atmosphere. The pacing is a bit uneven at times - but it adds to that tension. The themes surrounding justice and betrayal are pretty prevalent and it almost feels like De Palma is playing with the idea of moral ambiguity. Performances are solid, especially from the lead, who captures that desperation well. Not your typical crime thriller, it has those twists and turns that keep you guessing, even if some parts feel familiar.
