TAFFIN (1987)
FRANCIS MEGAHY
Plot
Handsome loner Mark Taffin is a professional debt collector in a small Irish community. When a vicious crime syndicate tries to move in with its plans to build a dangerous chemical plant, Taffin is recruited as a last resort, and soon finds himself fighting for his life... Thought by some to be the inspiration for Swayze's 'Road House', this remains a curious film. Clunky dialogue and a dismissive attitude to credibility have done nothing to dent its growing reputation as something of a cult classic.
