The Last Tattoo Movie Review

You don't see many movies these days where a gonorrhea outbreak plays the central role. You can be thankful for that or not, but the oddball noir The Last Tattoo cuts a reasonably good movie despite a cryptic plot line. This New Zealand production is also set there, during a 1940s stopover by American troops. Kerry Fox plays the local medical examiner, who discovers an untreatable strain of the clap on the loose... and stumbles onto a murder and cover-up scandal along the way. Curious, though not totally compelling.
