Among the police arriving at the crime scene is hostage negotiator Detective Rob Nunally (Billy Burke) the only officer permitted entry to the house. Surprisingly Crawford readily admits to shooting his wife but Nunally is too stunned to pay close attention when he recognizes his lover whose true identity he never knew lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Although Jennifer was shot at point blank range Nunally realizes she isn't dead. Crawford is immediately arrested and arraigned after confessing - a seemingly slam-dunk case for hot shot assistant district attorney Willy Beachum (Ryan Gosling) who has one foot out the door of the District Attorney's (David Strathairn) office on his way to a lucrative job in high-stakes corporate law. But nothing is as simple as it seems including this case. Will the lure of power and a love affair with a sexy ambitious attorney (Rosamund Pike) at his new firm overpower Willy's fierce drive to win or worse quash his code of ethics? In a tense duel of intellect and strategy Crawford and Willy both learn that a fracture can be found in every ostensibly perfect facade. Domino (Dir.

Unfolding in a non-linear fashion as bloodied Domino (Keira Knightley) is interrogated by iron faced officer Taryn Miles (Lucy Liu) the film traces the trajectory of Domino's tumultuous life. Beginning with the death of her father Domino develops into a hard nosed scrappy young woman who trains with nunchucks beside her mother's luxurious pool and responds violently to anyone who crosses her. Bored with the runway and the glamorous LA life Domino shows up for a bounty-hunter seminar. Catching the teachers of the seminar as they try to cut and run with the proceeds she manages to win their respect and joins their team. This consists of Ed Mosbey (Mickey Rourke) the tough-as-nails leader and Domino's surrogate father and Choco (Edgar Ramirez) an impulsive Venezuelan who harbors a not-so-secret love for Domino. The three form a kind of family working under Claremont Williams (Delroy Lindo) who plays Charlie to their three angels. For a time they are unstoppable even agreeing to let the slimy Mark Heiss (Christopher Walken) produce a reality-TV show about them which is hilariously hosted by Beverly Hills 90210 stars Ian Ziering and Brian Austin Green. But when Claremont orchestrates a complicated inside job in order to raise the money for his granddaughter's doctor bills the precarious balance within the trio is disturbed. Tom Waits stands out in a cameo as a wise wanderer who advises the lost bounty hunters.
