Dominique

Nothing in the movie mattered. You should go do anything else with your time. Literally anything else would be better than the time spent watching this. From beginning to end, nothing changed. Still don't know anything about the protagonist. People died. Nobody cared

There was no character growth. There was no progress. There was nothing worth watching here.

Stories are supposed to have a point. There was no point to this, other than dead bodies. I guess if one counted the bodies hitting the floor maybe there was a tiny point. But that's it.

Did any of the dialog matter? Nope. Did any of the action matter, except to further the body count? Nope.

Pointless violence with pointless death.

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.

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.

This movie had the potential to be a standout revenge thriller, but unfortunately, it falls short in several key areas. The lead actor delivers a solid performance, showing promise in the role, but the film's direction fails to capitalize on that strength. The supporting characters, on the other hand, often overact and can be grating, detracting from the film's overall tone.

The ending is especially disappointing. Revenge movies are defined by their climactic finales, that moment of catharsis and justice, but here, it feels like the filmmakers ran out of time-or budget-before they could deliver a satisfying resolution. The lack of a powerful, emotional payoff is a major letdown for fans of the genre.

That said, there's one bright spot: Oksana Orlan. She shows real potential as an action star, and with a stronger supporting cast and a larger budget, she could truly shine in this genre.

Ultimately, this movie misses the mark, but with a few key improvements, it could have been something special.
