Steineded How sad is this?

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Izzy Adkins The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

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.

JasparLamarCrabb A film that relies solely on the crazed screen persona of Bruce Dern. Here Dern is a tattoo artist obsessed with model Maud Adams. He decides to kidnap her and "mark" her, thus making her his and available for sex. This is a lousy film with absolutely nothing going for it. Director Bob Brooks creates no suspense, no intrigue and no action. It's just dull. The screenplay is by Joyce Buñuel (daughter-in-law of Luis) and there's not a single trace of wit or creativity to be found. The conclusion is essentially told to you mid-way through the film. The acting is pretty bad. Dern is Dern (and appears a bit bored) and Adams, though stunning, is not an actress. She's brave to have appeared in this film and it's unfortunate that it's not a better movie. Brief appearances by the reliable Leonard Frey and John Getz add a little color, but not much.

Milan "Tattoo" drew my attention purely by chance. I was reading up on some movies with similar plot involving psychotic love and abduction, and "Tattoo" just happened to be among them. I didn't know what to expect, but I was willing to check it out. Kind of a nice surprise, really, this movie is no deep character study, it's not terrifying, nor violent or brutal, it's just pretty good. Bruce Dern is a very good choice when it comes to roles of deeply disturbed characters, and he can do a good job showing all the layers that mentally unstable can be coated with. The anger, sympathy, obsession and violence are all within him, and Maude Adams is just along for the ride.Two of them are fully compatible on screen and the movie is done by the numbers, the plot steadily flows and the story unfolds to the end, which I didn't think was right, at first, I expected something else, but the mixture of emotions within Maude Adams, should have produced the combination of love and hate that ended the movie. Worth seeing.

roland-sinn Tattoo is very beautiful and stylish looking, as is Maud Adams. Below the cinematographic beauty is a core of exploitation.Maud Adams is not a great actress, but she and her breasts have wonderful personality which comes through on screen. Bruce Dern, a very good actor, lends gravity to his performance and does much more justice to the screenplay than it deserves.The story of Tattoo is pretty silly, the screenplay amateurish and many scenes are poorly executed. But despite it's many faults, I found Tattoo genuinely engrossing. The film is a visual delight and the music score meshes very nicely.Be warned that Tattoo is psychologically as well as physically exploitative so sensitives should steer clear, though really it's very mild compared with some more recent flicks.If you're a hetero guy, you'll love it. 6/10
