unrelentingly vile and ugly; All this movie has to say is that David Ayer enjoys creating misery, and sharing it. What a repugnant, hateful piece of work this is
the well-acted film is shot with impressive dexterity; But almost everything about this mean-streets action thriller feels familiar and a touch self-important
one of the most atrocious viewing experiences of the year, "The Tax Collector" relies on a trite visual language built on obvious flashbacks and bland imagery that match the unimaginatively dreadful writing where every Latino in sight is a gangster
combined with David Ayer's continued storytelling missteps, "The Tax Collector" amounts to a lot of blood and brutality without the soulfulness to match
all this breaks down into is a boilerplate revenge story soaked in blood that is never engaging or exciting to watch; "The Tax Collector" is just nasty and repulsive, and that's without even getting into the wooden acting and blind craftsmanship
"The Tax Collector" is violent and gruesome as hell, but poorly written with an absurd plot. The characters behave nonsensically in a world of obvious betrayals; It's a disjointed effort; "The Tax Collector" is a big disappointment
