Domino (2019)

Calling this movie "bad" would be kind. It's absolute garbage. No pacing, no character development, and the score is woefully inept -- more suited to a cartoon than a thriller.

Here's the story: Copenhagen cop is killed by a man trying to avenge his father's death by tracking down the ISIS mastermind responsible. So now the cop's partner and pregnant lover (also a cop) want to track down the guy who killed their co-worker. But that guy is now in CIA custody and acting as their rabid tracking dog for ISIS. It's all very convoluted while also being simple-minded -- no easy feat.

I didn't care and it felt like the actors, screenwriter, composer and director (De Palma???) didn't either. I don't even have any idea why it's named "Domino."
