gridoon2018 I didn't like this film. I guess I was looking for some simple action fun, but what I got instead was a pretentious mess. The plot is impossible to follow. The tone is all over the place, swinging from broad comedy to overwrought melodrama. Hong Kong films are also famous for such tone shifts, but this Thai production cannot pull it off: the amnesiac killer who thinks he's Elvis and speaks only in (monosyllabic) English does not belong in the same movie as a reprehensible, to say the least, scene of threatened little girl molestation. The action sequences are also a mess - most of the time it's hard to figure out who's shooting at whom or why. The character I liked best was a stylish, Lara Croft - like female assassin, and when she got killed off halfway through, my heart sunk. There is another effective scene near the end, when a man sees his own dead body being dragged away and realizes he has become a ghost. On the whole, however, "Killer Tattoo" is an overlong misfire.

dbborroughs This movie is not what I expected. I thought it was going to be funnier than it was, still I found its wildly off kilter nature refreshing.The plot has a band of assassins hired to kill a police chief. Once the hit goes down, badly, the group of killer find themselves hunted by the men who hired them. There's infinitely more to whats going on, I haven't touched on the killers, their baggage and the numerous complications that arise.To call this film off-beat is an understatement. Nothing goes in a conventional way and what starts off as quite funny becomes quite grim by the end. Its far from the best film ever made but there is something about its quirky (god I hate that word) nature that makes it worth seeing. I think that the raves by some critics are do more to the uniqueness of the film rather than to its actual quality.I give it an 8 out of 10, with a point or two coming from the off-beat nature of the film. I would recommend it. I can't say you'll love it but it will keep you watching to the end.

poikkeus Killer Tattoo comes burdened with extravagant praise, but this Thai film often seems just a few steps behind the goofy HK actioners it attempts to emulate. When a career criminal is released from prison, he's asked to orchestrate the killing of a high ranking politico. He pulls together a strange crew to help him out: a pill-popping druggie, a droopy- eyed longhair, and a guy who thinks he's Elvis, and refuses to speak Thai. It's a promising setup, but most of the intentional jokes fall flat, while the unintentional ones (including some pointed jibes at the U.S.) pack more bite. There are gunfights galore, but they're orchestrated without much snap or style, and the frequent John Woo--like intrusions of melodrama tend to slow down the action. Killer Tattoo is certainly offbeat, but being offbeat isn't enough to inject spunk into this poorly paced actioner.

David Bennett (pinkfish) This movie is quite a classic. I saw it last year the Seattle international film festival and it was just brilliant. It was one of the best comedy action movies I have ever seen.I really enjoyed the weird Thai humour all through this movie and even through the plot was relatively predictable the characters in the movie and the acting made it trully worth seeing.
