It seemed better when I'd watched it in far off 1985 in my teenager years, now revisiting it in Youtube I understand why it never came out in any format, The Domino Principle is a bad feature, starts well and will slowing down the hill in every single sequence, the plot is too confusing, a lame screenplay hinders the reading, attached with inconceivable handling of the main character that will use in an upcoming future.
The story summed up over a former soldier from Vietnam war Tucker (Gene Hackman) is in San Quentin sentenced by murder, when appears someone called Mr. Tagge (Richard Widmark) linked on a covert worldwide Organization offering a mutual interest deal over his freedom exchange killing somebody crucial in political circles, actually Tucker is a superb sniper, he accepts as long as his old pal inmate Spiventa (Mickey Rooney) hangs out with and his wife Ellie (Candice Bergen) back, among some arguing it's granted by Tagge, however Spiventa is killed on the escape by Organization, it enrages Tucker deep, although on meeting Ellie on a paradisiacal island he calm down a little, then come up his assignment on American ground to killing someone of key importance.
Sadly Stanley Kramer despite its background wasn't able to change many mistakes by a stillborn screenplay, for instance it was the very first deal where the prize comes first, alluding Tucker making a second honey moon with his beauty wife on a quietly seashore spot surround by expensive lodging, worst the outcome no make sense whatsoever in any aspect over the fine premise, it's explained such picture is obscure by large majority of cinephiles and possible never it'll come out officially.
Thanks for reading.
