The Tax Collector Review: 4 Ups & 6 Downs

Ups...

4. Shia LaBeouf Chews The Scenery

Shia LaBeouf has enjoyed a well-earned career resurgence in recent years, demonstrating his uncommon commitment to achingly humanistic roles in the likes of American Honey, Honey Boy, and The Peanut Butter Falcon.

And though the material is largely wasted on such a talented actor, LaBeouf at least tries his damnedest to make it compelling, hamming it up as unpredictable enforcer Creeper.

LaBeouf famously got his chest tattooed for real for the part, which proves baffling given that his bare chest is scarcely shown throughout the movie at all.

But his eccentric energy is about as close as The Tax Collector gets to being genuinely entertaining, even if he clearly deserves so, so much better.
