BoardChiri Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

atinder Tattoo (2002)What a crazy movie, the movie start of with a lady who is naked walking in the rain, her back as just been skinned off, then she gets hit by a bus that crash and blows up.Then police are investigation that body at morgue and find out that there finger in side her, she as bit of the attack sh-allowed!That was just first 4 minutes of the movie , the action packed for the first hour so, fast moving, it gets little slower just after hour into movie but it dose not last long, as pick up speed again for last 20 minutes.I did not get the ending at all, I wish it was bit was clear.Really good movie and great acting in the movie.7 out of 10

littlemisshaywood This is well worth the mere 1hr 40 minutes it takes to watch.Beautifully, beautifully shot with some inspired mise en scene it has a solid plot and a good twist. With many a scene I found myself on the edge of my seat...it has a marvellously twisted and sullen mood to it.I also have to commend August Diehl, who takes a magnificent role as the young rookie cop Marc Schrader. As the film progresses you can actually see the horrors he's facing taking their toll in his gradual physical and mental deterioration. But there are strong performances all around, especially Christian Redl as the jaded Chief Inspector Minks.A gritty and gorgeously visual thriller that I can recommend to anyone.

Nachtportier Over 90 percent of Tattoo are taken at night or indoors with dim lightning. This might be the reason why this one is often compared to David Fincher's Seven (which also has two officers investigating mysterious and bizarre serial killer). Fairly impressive cast of Tattoo cannot cache rather implausible & heavy constructed story. August Diehl has never looked so lost on the big screen as in the second half of Tattoo (probably he noticed what he was into it - and it was too late to get out). Dull and likely socially disturbed dialogs (with some "witty" humor about the skin, German "die Pelle") plus the unnatural lightning definitely kills the aesthetic effort of the filmmakers (which is merely noticeable). This movie is rated to high in my opinion, because there is no explicit cruelty in it (which is a plus!), its just mostly boredom.The plot tries to display a bizarre scene of Tattoo-fetishists (Tattoo collectors who kill people for their skin). The Tattoo art aspect comes short, they only chat about it, but the actual Tattoos used in this movie are not good (or not displayed good enough).Our hero (Diehl) goes through a strange metamorphosis from a innocent and unprofessional police-apprentice (which he masters very good) till he becomes a super-bad-cop like Charles Bronson (selfjustice, etc). Diehl looks here a lot out of place.This movie had a notable success (especially in the U.S.), seems like a proper mix of some hype elements: Tattoos, sex & body modification (marginal). But this movie has a significant lack in the story itself, which is not plausible at all. Other problems are weak director's performance (seems like Nadeshda Brennicke was casted only to take off the clothes) and somehow inappropriate editing (with no plausible reasoning). The good one about this movie are some supporting actors, which are brilliant (Ilknur Bahadir as the annoying cop and Monika Bleibtreu as police-boss-mom) and some interesting architecture shots. The rest is awful, great actors and expensive lihgtstyling are no guarantee for a good movie. Well, not in Germany.ps. Nivea-Creme is a very popular skin care product in Europe.

Shevad I saw this movie and was fascinated of the courage od these German film makers. Such a provoking movie is rare in our cinemas and therefore very important. Maybe, Tattoo will change the German market toward American standards. But in my opinion the movie was too hard for people under the age of 16.Because I was overwhelmed of this new direction in Germany, i give the film 9 out of 10. Great entertainment á la "Se7en" and "Licence of the Lambs".
