Rating: - Wouldn't have been easier just to pay your debt?
I hadn't heard of this 1988 film before, and I'm a Brosnan fan. This one did not disppoint me--very action packed! It was set in Pierce Brosnan's native Ireland. Here he plays Mark Taffin a rather hardcore debt collector, that gets the job done. He is a loner with a conscience and heart, though. Taffin gets himself involved with the town's people because of these abilities and they need a person who could go to bat for them against a big business that was going to destroy their beloved sportsfield ...

Rating:  - 3 star film, 4 star brosnan
This film is an engaging variation of the immortal theme of good battling with and finally winning over evil and great odds. It is engaging because Pierce Brosnan is a kind of modern Robin Hood, and is (as always) so good to look at, impossibly handsome but also an excellent actor, commanding attention. He has the kind of looks that makes this writer, rather uncharacteristically, wish that people could remain young forever. His co-stars in the film match him in performances that are convincing, with the ... Read More
Rating: - Brosnan gets role he can really work with - and it works on so many levels
It is a well known fact that I am not a great admirer of Pierce Brosnan as James Bond. Although he looked handsome enough to be James Bond he never looked tough enough. Much has been made of the fact that although the newest 007 Daniel Craig does not look handsome enough to play the secret agent (some going as far as to call him "ugly") he does look tough enough to play the part.
In fact I would say that Brosnan looked tougher in the thriller FOURTH PROTOCOL in the part of the Soviet agent (see my ... Read More
Rating: - Be Cool, Like Taffin
I really really enjoyed it. As a matter of fact if I could re-watch Taffin vs any of Pierce's Bond flicks, I'd take Taffin any day. I am always entertained more by English films (or in this case Irish), than I am by most American films, they just seem more unpredictable because I don't know what to expect. Taffin has Pierce looking really cool (and he still is semi young so more believable as a killer to me), plus the eye candy is not too shabby in this one with some nice topless views that you wont get ...

Rating: - Yeah! Right! Brosnan - great job!
Brosnan did an excellent job considering the story line and his youth.
Why do these idiots making films think they have to depend on a stripper to hook the guys. Wasn't the movie itself good enough?
We don't need to see what guys are like - we already know!
Story line was good enough to promote a bit of interest - the quest of how he would take out the villians kept the interest -- but the exploiting of women just keeps up -- I ain't seen a nude man yet -- would have to bury him under ... Read More
