cinematography, staccato editing, saturated colors and
hipster-cool characters aren't enough to put across this
twisted tale of real-life people in a fictionalized crime
caper. What's missing from this trickster's Reality Show called
"Domino" is any sense of reality. It looks and acts like
"Ocean's Thirteen," as director Tony Scott borrows freely and
unashamedly from Oliver Stone, Steven Soderbergh, Quentin
Tarantino, Elmore Leonard and Guy Ritchie.

Reuters - After hitting the big screen and

standing as Bush's frontman. While his distinctive gravelly
vocals remain familiar, he has succeeded in delivering
something entirely different to fans. The question now is
whether -- 10 years after the success of "Glycerine" and
"Swallowed" -- that will impress old fans and draw new ones.
