Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

mjk42784 The following review contains a few spoilers.Tattoo is a little out of distressed heroins, and the book of the collector. A man becomes obsessed with a woman after painting fake tattoos on her body. ,he kidnaps her and gives her real tattoos all over her body. Very good acting the plot and script could have been better but overall not a bad watch In that he only draws gives her tattoos on her body and does nothing else to her. PG13 erotic no hardcore sex scenes. A few erotic scenes and Maud Adams does walks around in the nude for a little while. If you like erotic kinky movie with damsels in distress than this movie is worth watching. The only DVD version is Pal 2 so you have to watch it on a computer. I think they should do a remake, with a better script. If done right it can be an erotic thriller, maybe straight to DVD, because it won't be everyones cup of tea.

allison-aa I've watched this movie three times and find it to be a quite extraordinary; an homage, with a twist, to Beauty and the Beast perhaps? Whilst I can understand the distaste of some reviewers for the subject matter it was, for me, both very well executed and engrossing and I thought that both leading characters played their respective roles very well. Reviewing a movie such as this is complicated. The fact that it elicited such visceral reactions is, in my view, a tribute to its success in deeply involving the viewer in the story-line. How one reacts to that involvement is, of course, a purely personal response; but shouldn't the review of a movie reflect the extent to which it involves its audience, for better or for worse rather than the subject matter?

Infofreak I love Bruce Dern! The guy has appeared in some of my all time favourite exploitation movies ('The Wild Angels', 'The Trip', 'Psych-Out', 'The Cycle Savages', 'Bloody Mama'), usually playing some kinda evil or deranged character. He does it so well that you can forgive many people thinking he must be a bad ass in real life, when apparently he's a straight living health freak who indulges in marathon running. Anyway, he makes 'Tattoo' into a fascinating viewing experience. It isn't the greatest movie ever made, in fact it's quite a mundane thriller for the most part, but Dern makes it compelling with an intense and yet subtle performance. He plays a very odd tattoo artist who becomes obsessed with Maddy, a bitchy model (Maud Adams, Bond girl and 'Rollerball'). Now Maud Adams isn't really my cup of tea but she sure looks good in the nude scenes, and anyway, this is Dern's movie all the way. Most people seem down on this one, but I can't see why. I will say that the bigger the Dern fan you are the more you will enjoy it. I enjoyed it a LOT!

gridoon As a psychopathic tattoo artist, Bruce Dern has to work extra hard here, because the script is very sketchy as far as his motivations and background are concerned, but he is up to the task - he has some very creepy moments (like his first outburst at a dinner table). As his "object of desire", however, Maud Adams is fatally miscast: the way she plays the model in the first half of the movie, you just can't understand why anyone would become infatuated with her. This strange film might be worth a look if you can find it, but don't expect too much. (**)
