Release date and plot of the film
Domino is an action movie with elements of thriller and drama, which premiered worldwide on May 30, 2019. The film is scheduled for release in Russia on June 6th. The action of the tape takes place in various parts of the planet, but most of it will take place in Denmark, where, according to the plot, the main character is from a policeman named Christian. The latter is an honest and knowledgeable cop who has worked side by side with partner Lars Hansen for many years.
Suddenly, Hansen is killed, and Christian discovers that a member of the ISIS terrorist organization named Imran is behind this. The antagonist's partner tried to detain the criminal, but lost the fight. Before dying, he asks Christian to find the killer and thwart his plans. The main character is joined by the girl of the deceased police officer, Alex, who is obsessed with revenge. Together they find out that the criminal trail stretches for Imran all the way to Spain, and if they delay, ISIS will strike at innocent people.
A surprise for the main characters is the information that Imran and his group are not the only ones who are guilty of Hansen's death and responsible for extremist actions throughout Europe. As it turned out, the CIA was involved in this, pursuing its plans in this secret war. On the trail of Christian and Alex, a corrupt agent named Joe Martin is sent, whose goal is to eliminate unnecessary witnesses at all costs. Thus, the heroes find themselves drawn into a tangle of dangerous intrigues and are on the verge of life and death.
Creators and cast
Domino is directed by Brian De Palma, best known for his blockbusters Scarface, Carlito's Way and Mission Impossible.

Also, the actor is known for the films "Bounty Hunters" and "Shot into the Void".
Nicolae Coster-Waldau will be accompanied by Dutch actress Caris van Houten, who played Alex, the girl of the deceased cop.

Filming began in 2017 and initially took place in the Spanish cities of Malaga and Almeria. The most exciting action scenes of the film will take place here, including such exotic ones as a shootout in the bullfighting arena. Later filming continued in Denmark. Interesting fact: the main female role was originally supposed to be played by actress Christina Hendrix, but later she was replaced by Caris van Houten. The creators thought that the audience would like the tandem of actors from the beloved series. The world premiere did not attract a large number of viewers, but the first reviews are more positive precisely due to the successful casting and exciting plot.
