David (Bobby Soto) and Creeper (Shia LaBeouf), are โtax collectorsโ for the crime lord Wizard, collecting his cut from the profits of local gangsโ illicit dealings. But when Wizardโs old rival returns to Los Angeles from Mexico, the business is upended, and David finds himself desperate to protect what matters more to him than anything else: his family.
What a joke about suppose to be freaking 2 "collectors" for a "In Prison" drug lord ! Kinda Telemundo style drama wagon with next in line son with weaknesses with the wife, dealing with resolving issues with his father and so on. Found it to be mixed with comedy and romance instead of the true insight of what it's really about especially with grit in drug business. All that was missing was Al Pacino & Michelle Pfeiffer along with the famous phrase "say hello to my little friend ".๐คฃ๐๐๐๐ โ๐ฐ
1st and foremost, the trailer for this film was extremely misleading. It gives you the impression that, Creeper(Shia LaBeouf) is the main protagonist. That is not the case, David(Bobby Soto) is the actual leading man, and yet the Villain of the film Jose Martin "Conejo"(when you say it, say it with RESPECT!) quite frankly, steals the show! When compared to End of Watch or Training Day,(Previous David Ayer films) this film fails to hit the mark. Which is unfortunate and extremely disappointing.
Eh..I mean when there's a movie called the Last Samurai starring Tom Cruise and 47 Ronin with Keanu Reeves, you can get away with passing Shia LaBeouf as being Mexican in Tax Collector, lol! ๐ With that said, I expected more from this film, interesting backstory and definitely had some potential.
