Taffin...

Tagging is one of those films that you sit down to watch with expectations that it will be way better than it actually turns out to be. It's got solid acting, along with a decent script but somehow those two things haven't quite transferred to the film. The first two acts are far too slow, although things do pick up in the last 15 minutes, this leads to the film being a little confusing - the bad guys aren't really bad, they are mildly annoying at best which compared to the final showdown makes staffing a very unbalanced film.

Is it worth watching? That depends. Remember when Brosnan had a small cameo as an IRA thug in The Long Good Friday? Well this is like they took that character and made a whole film about him - minus the terrorist connotations. Taffin isn't a particularly nice character he just happens to not be the bad guy on this side of the story.

I caught this on Prime so it was free and idled away half a rainy afternoon and nothing more. If you don't see it you won't miss anything.
