...plot, as convoluted as it becomes after the first 40 minutes, is as such: Domino kicks butt as a bounty hunter alongside her boss Ed (Mickey Rourke) and his angry lackey Choco (Edgar Ramirez); their corrupt bail bondsmen employer and his entourage of “sassy black women” create a scam to raise money for their dying baby; they accidentally double-cross a mob boss and a corrupt businessman, requiring an even more illogical scam; and, simultaneously, Christopher Walken attempts to make a reality show about Domino...

Even before naming Edwards to the ticket, Kerry had scouted and hired some of his erstwhile staff members: former Edwards chief of staff Miles Lackey became Kerry's deputy campaign manager for policy and speechwriting, communications aide David Ginsburg went on to serve that function for Kerry, and press secretary Jennifer Palmieri came aboard as his spokeswoman in the crucial state of Ohio. Before that, Kerry had recruited Dick Gephardt's longtime aide...
