Domino Harvey (Keira Knightley) is a bounty hunter. And it would seem that she’s in some sort of trouble, as she’s in a dimly-lit room, being questioned by Lucy Liu.
We’re told by Domino that most people in her position who found themselves in this predicament may not give anyone up, but in her case, she’s going to give them everything she has – which is good, because otherwise it would be a very short movie. The big problem is that it makes for a very choppy tale.
This follow-up to 2001’s Legally Blonde starts off with a scrapbook that walks you through the first movie in an effort to bring back the magic. It almost completely fails, but it is sadly about as close as it gets.
What made the first movie work was that it was completely unexpected and it was just a fun ride. The second time through is never as much fun, though admittedly the original is nearly as good on subsequent viewings.
Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.
As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have anything to do directly with the movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars, and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.
Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often.
