Critics Consensus

A taxing and ill-advised crime drama, The Tax Collector fails to accrue much meaningful interest.

What possessed Shia LaBeouf to get a massive tattoo for this underachieving gangster film?

If one is going to make something this cliché, though, they should at least try to do a good job.

David's a family man who never asked to play a central role in this story. By the end of "The Tax Collector," it's hard to blame him.

It's never a good sign when the only lifeblood in your film is the white boy performing offensive gangster cosplay.

1.5/5

A strong supporting cast and a handful of provocatively gruesome action sequences can't save the poorly-paced movie from Ayer's worst instincts: A reliance on macho moralism, uninspired visual language, and broad, often racist stereotypes.

The Tax Collector features confident camera work, one propulsively-edited gun battle, and solid work from its actors, at least for what they're given.

The movie felt short and very predictable, but I would still recommend it. Shia LeBloeuf’s role was overrated.
