I really like all of David Ayer’s films, and at least Suicide Squad has style, but this is just boring and ugly and bland. Disappointing.

This is the worst episode of Mayans ever. Seriously, this is crap. No idea who the lead is, but it ain't Mr. The Beef. David sucks. The character and the actor. He has no gravitas whatsoever.

The character and the actor. He has no gravitas whatsoever. The bad guy is so over the top, he could be in the next Far Cry. I think this is simply a casualty of the pandemic. I should have known since it was so.cheap on Amazon, but I still want my money back. Ive seen better Tele novela plots.… Expand

The funny thing is Shia got a real full chest tat for this movie that he completely sucked in. The "karate kid" type ending was stupid af. Best part is when Shia gets his head bashed in, best acting job hes ever done.

Based on the trailer this seemed okay.

I was quite wrong. Narratively derivative, unpleasantly paced and just an overall misguided mess. The casting choices and performance choices made by certain actors are also pretty dreadful. Avoid.

No issues with the cast but you can only take such mediocre material so far and try as they might, They just couldn't make it work. The story is your generic plot that we have seen time and time again, the characters too shallow due to awfulNo issues with the cast but you can only take such mediocre material so far and try as they might, They just couldn't make it work. The story is your generic plot that we have seen time and time again, the characters too shallow due to awful writing and there is also a severe lack of action in this "action" film, which honestly relies more on drama than anything else to get a point across. You're honestly better off not wasting your time on this.… Expand

For those clamoring for David Ayer's cut of "Suicide Squad," watch this and you'll change your tune.

So Shia, you killed stray dogs in preparation for this movie in order to get into the mind of a murder? You also tattooed your chest, which is real by the way, for the role. Was it worth it? Nah, I don't think so.

'The Tax Collector' is hot trash fire. Such a boring movie with no characters to attach yourself to. A very obnoxiousness movie as well. David Ayer is a hack fraud of a director. I've lost all faith in him to make anything decent again. Any new movie he releases in the future, am not interested.… Expand

While I like Shia Lebouf and his acting was ok here, the other actors - most of them - the acting felt so bad. At times I felt like I'm watching Spanish telenovela level acting from 90s.

At times I felt like I'm watching Spanish telenovela level acting from 90s. The story was kinda all over the place too and while I had heard the movie was bad, by what I saw in trailer I thought ok probably just people not liking some parts of it but yeah in the end I found it too boring for good action movie (given that I allow action movies have a bit worse plots if they have good action) and too weak plot for any drama etc. Plus the bad acting or whatever it was (felt like it, maybe how it was made or dialogue on its own felt bad) made it worse.I'm only putting 3 here as I managed to watch it all.… Expand

In terms of entertainment, frankly there isn't much, especially when Ayer's approach seems more interested in exalting the deplorable narcoculture, in addition to the fact that the conflict is practically as predictable as it isIn terms of entertainment, frankly there isn't much, especially when Ayer's approach seems more interested in exalting the deplorable narcoculture, in addition to the fact that the conflict is practically as predictable as it is unsatisfactory.

Another problem results from its Latino cast, which gets the opportunity to be the lead characters and unfortunately re-nurtures the idea that in the Latino community everyone is either a gardener, a gang member or a cartel member.

The Tax Collector doesn't contribute anything relevant or exciting and is perhaps David Ayer's most disappointing work to date.

Here the only name that deserves mention is Shia LaBeouf and it's not because he does much with the character but because of his commitment to the role. Something known in him, and even if the material is poor, the guy works.… Expand

Just a complete waste of time. From terrible performances to unfulfilling tension. Skip this all together.

This movie was an absolute let down with an out of no where ending and the movie didnt do justice to the character of Shia LaBeouf.
The bad ass who dies in the first gun fight.

Let me just say this movie is all over the place. Hard to read the context and the ending in my opinion was just not good.
