But the iffy production buzz, plus the fact that this is De Palma's first movie in seven years (since Passion), will lead many to conclude that he's an artist in decline. In one shocking sequence, two cameras and split-screen are used to simultaneously show an ISIS assassin's face and her targets. The sequence in which Christian leaves his gun behind, a rooftop chase, a red tomato motif, and uses of modern technology like photos on a phone and an airborne drone showcase De Palma's skills at their most skillful - and also show that he's not afraid to change with the times. On the plus side, it moves quickly, like a brisk B movie, and De Palma's skills in communicating through a purely visual, visceral cinematic form haven't faded in that, he has few equals working today. This 89-minute version skimps a little on relationships and character interactions, and it feels a tad irresponsible in the way it handles an ISIS-related story as regular thriller material. Some sources suggest that Domino was intended to be much longer perhaps that movie would have fleshed out some of the story's more emotional and political aspects. But his still-masterful, bravura touches make it worth a look. Thanks to a troubled production and a thin story and characters, this thriller from suspense veteran Brian De Palma doesn't rank with his best. For various reasons, its been seven years since a Brian De Palma film has hit screens. Language includes a few uses of 'f-k,' plus 'a-hole' and 'oh, Christ.' Characters talk about having had drinking problems and attending AA meetings, and alcohol is seen. Other characters are said to have had an affair. There's also full-frontal female nudity as a woman climbs out of bed and cuddles and kisses her male partner. A young boy sees gory crime scene photos. Violence is frequent and extreme: Expect to see guns and shooting, a bloody massacre, an attempted terrorist bombing, blood and gore, gory dead bodies, fighting, punching, slicing, and cutting.

But it features two Game of Thrones stars ( Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Carice van Houten), and De Palma's astounding style frequently saves the day. It had a troubled production history, and the finished film feels a little lacking in character development and somewhat irresponsible in the way it depicts terrorism. Parents need to know that Domino is a mature, revenge- and terrorism-focused thriller from director Brian De Palma. A Copenhagen police officer, Christian (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), seeks justice for his partners murder by ISIS member Ezra.
