Dominique

Embroidered on the real drama of poor Colombians, this film bring some serious issues into question. It's half way between a B series banal and violent flick and a real tension filled, well done cinematic action movie. You may or may not want to watch it, but there's something else that must be noted: Oksana Orlan has a huge potential for dramatic roles. She is very expressive as an actress, it pays to have her in action movies but she can do so much more. The credibility of the story is forced beyond natural, in terms of physics, ballistics and tactical warfare, the human nature is touching the extremes but, hey, this is Columbia and all bets are off. Oksana stays somehow above all this and shines in a strange, promising way. Do they plan a sequel? She would better step on acting, with less shooting. I gave it a 6, in anticipation.

This low-budget action/revenge flick could have been great. A female JOHN WICK even. The plot is simple and the bad guys are pure evil, which would be fine if there was more thought put into the action.

Star Oksana Orlan does what she can with a limited script that doesn't give her much to do besides kill people and look exhausted despite being seemingly invulnerable to any serious harm.

There's some decent violence and gore but the CGI gunshot wound spatters look pathetic and fake and take you right out of the film. I hate when producers cheap out and choose that over far more realistic and practical squibs. It always looks cheap and takes the film down a notch.

Overall, DOMINIQUE isn't boring but it could have been so much better.

This movie is as poignant as it is violent. The action will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time while you become attached to the characters. The director really pulled that off. It does leave you wanting to know a lot more about Dominique and her past. I assume this was done to make us want a sequel! The actress is great. Her anger is so genuine that you feel it too. The landscape looked so good on film that I now want to visit Colombia. There are pivotal action scenes that made me wonder how the filming was done so well because I doubt there were tons of effects or cgi. Definitely worth a second watch.

Action/violence on the level of a movie from the franchise of "taken" or "john wick." I expected it would be one hand on the popcorn, the other on the fast forward button. But no. The crooked cops, the burned out soldier of fortune, finding a cause worth risking her life. There are twists, you won't see coming.

Fun. Worth giving it a shot. 6.5. It drops a little because its obviously not a big budget, slick Hollywood production. That was a negative, but after 15 minutes, that ceasaes to be an issue. When it ended, I actually wondered if this could find its way to Dominique II? Probably not....but think of all the crappy movies that have seen a 2nd iteration.

I have just watched this!

And I want to tell you people!

If you like action packed movies and you can forgive low budget issues - you will be satisfied!

What is more important in this kind of movies is the main heroine.

This one is really good and fits perfectly.

Lots of blood - actually bloodbath.

Acting is not really perfect.

More to this there are very many poor quality stuff here...... Sound is poor.

Special effects not really fantastic.

Hand to hand combat....you name it...

YET IT IS SO DAMN FRESH!!!!

And more:

you know this kind of movies. You know what would happen yet you watch it with pleasure.

I think this is because of:

• script
• characters
• editing
• not pretending to be Hollywood stuff - just some cheap flick... with idea....

I loved this movie....

The main heroine is bad, mean and kicks ass. And is so sexy...... in her brutality.
