USA: Keira Knightley potrays a model turned bounty hunter in new film "Domino."

British actress Keira Knightley calls her new film 'Domino' 'a fast ride of a film'. The film is inspired by The true life story of Domino Harvey, a Ford model turned bounty hunter. 'Domino' is directed by Tony Scott and also stars Lucy Liu, Mickey Rourke, Mena Suvari, Macy Gray, Mo'nique, and Christopher Walken. "You have all this money and you are glamourous you are beautiful. How dare you put on some boots and jeans and walk around with a gun, " Actress Mo'nique said of society's perception of the real Domino Harvey. The film follows the late daughter of late actor Laurence Harvey and a former model who rejects her privileged Beverly Hills life to chase criminals. "Here is Keira who is a star at 20 in terms of her acting career but she is very vulnerable and the real Domino is very vulnerable and both very sweet and both like daughters to me in a way. I was really attached to real Domino she worked with me for 12 years," explained director Tony Scott. The real Domino Harvey died in her Los Angeles home this past June at the age of 35. The wild action thriller follows LA's most successful and infamous bounty hunters, and had the movie stars totting guns and dabbling in the dark side. "This is a really fast ride of a film. It is absolutely crazy and its action packed its extremely violent and it is also very funny and gritty. So I think there is something in it for everyone," Knightley said . She continued , "When I was little I used to watch films I always wanted to be the guys not the girls. The girls were boring they would just stand on the corner and scream a lot and you would think 'Oh just shut up.' It was really nice to play a character that could have been a guy. In any other movie it would have been about three bounty hunters and they all would have been guys and it just makes it more interesting that one of them is a girl." 'Domino' is released in the United States on October 14.
