Tattoo

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?

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 * 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.

It's movies like this that give tattoos and tattoo artists a bad name. I know a lot of people in the tattoo community and I don't know a single one who would tattoo someone against their will. Bruce Dern deserved the Razzi for this piece of poor filmmaking....

Not a very good movie. The biggest plus for this movie is a lovely Maude Adams naked. Unfortunately it's poorly directed and the storyline is just plain dumb. I was surprised this flick ony had a handful of reviews. Guess it'snto shown on TV mch. Maybe with good reason. It's rather dull, lifeless and boring most of the time.

This story makes has me thinking what makes a man so twisted that he becomes deeply obsessed with the woman he loves the most. (Academy Award Nominee Bruce Dern) portrays Karl Kinski a tattoo artist who develops a twisted obsession for a model that he desires the most. Maud Adams (also known as one of the bond girls who was in both The Man with Golden Gun and Octopussy) portrays Maddy, the model that Karl desires the most. This has received a little bit of controversy surrounding the issue of the poster the shows a woman to her ankles. There was also another rumor if whether the sex scene between Maud Adams and Bruce Dern was either real or just an illusion. I don't know how to rate this film, but the point of this film was that it that there are crazed obsessives who lurk among us. To be honest this was a good film.

Tattoo artist kidnaps beautiful fashion model, applies his trade to her unmarked flesh. Seamy psychological drama with thriller aspirations that never quite come to the fore; director Bob Brooks, who also penned the original treatment, goes for a creepy, muted ambiance rather than an explosive one. Solid supporting cast including Leonard Frey, John Getz, Jane Hoffman and Cynthia Nixon more interesting than vapid leads Bruce Dern and Maud Adams, with Dern doing his usual self-imploding routine. Arty cinematography from two lens-men, Arthur J. Ornitz and Michael Serezin, attempts to turn the milieu into a smoky, seductive melodrama, but it's too sleazy for noir. *1/2 from ****

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.
