DVD Synopsis
This melodrama is set in Ireland and follows bill collector and karate master Taffin as he and other try to keep a soccer field from being destroyed by developers. Soon he finds himself involved in a sticky web of blackmail, political corruption and murder all precipitated by the avarice of a major chemical company. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
Francis Megahy directs Pierce Brosnan in the action film Taffin, which comes to DVD with a pair of transfers. The widescreen transfer preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1, and is preferable to the standard full-frame image. English and French soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Mono. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible, and the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include a collectible booklet. This is a fine release from MGM/UA. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

Glad I took a chance on this one! An entertaining movie, Pierce Brosnan plays a good-looking rougue who's an Irish debt collector and "problem solver". The storyline may be somewhat predictable and simplistic, but still it was very enjoyable. Filmed in Ireland & some of the scenery is beautifully shown.
