Review of Taxman

Taxman (1998)
3/10
The Taxman is Obnoxious!
13 January 2000
I found this movie personally offensive for the way the main character, a tax investigator is portrayed. This character was so obnoxious, I had to turn away in disgust. Basically, here is the plot. A tax investigator, "Walter Mitty type" dreams of making the big score on a tax evasion case and becoming famous. He decides to go after the Russian mob, headquartered in the Brighton Beach section of New York, who are allegedly buying up gas stations, and then siphoning off the sales tax receipts. However, the tax investigator is so clumsy, aggressive, and undisciplined in his approach to catching these criminals, that he sabotages his own efforts constantly. This guy is so ignorant and obnoxious, you feel like slapping him around. If I had to pick a food to compare with this guys personality it would be Limburger cheese. It just out and out smells bad!! Anyway, the ending is very predictable, and the only memorable part of this movie is how obnoxious the main character was.
