Taffin (1988)

What is it about?

In a quiet Irish town on the brink of upheaval, a tough-as-nails debt collector with a reputation for getting things done is reluctantly pulled into a fight not his own.

When ruthless developers descend with plans to build a toxic chemical plant, silencing opposition with hired muscle, the community turns to the one man feared enough to push back. What begins as a favor soon becomes a battle for the soul of the town — and for the redemption of a man who thought he’d left heroism behind.

Why should I watch it?
