LeoGlossary: Taffin (Film)

7 months ago (Edited)

The 1988 film Taffin is about a tough-guy debt collector in Ireland who helps his local community rid the town of developers bent on building a chemical plant on the outskirts of town.

The film stars Pierce Brosnan as Mark Taffin, a debt collector who uses his smarts and martial arts skills to help locals collect debts they are owed. He is a popular figure in the town, but he also has a reputation for being ruthless.

When a group of developers arrives in town with plans to build a chemical plant, Taffin is initially reluctant to get involved. However, he is persuaded to help the locals after they are threatened by the developers' goons.

Taffin uses his skills and connections to expose the developers' corruption and to thwart their plans. He also falls in love with a local barmaid, Charlotte (Alison Doody).

The film is a mix of action, comedy, and romance. It is also a celebration of Irish culture and community.

Taffin was not a critical or commercial success when it was released in 1988. However, it has since gained a cult following among fans of action cinema and Pierce Brosnan.

The film is notable for its over-the-top action sequences, its cheesy dialogue, and its Brosnan's charisma. It is also a fun and lighthearted film that is perfect for a rainy night.
