Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Taffin is a 1988 Irish action/thriller film directed by Francis Megahy and starring Pierce Brosnan, Ray McAnally, Alison Doody, Patrick Bergin, Alan Stanford, and Jeremy Child. The screenplay, by David Ambrose, is based on the first of Lyndon Mallet’s four Taffin novels.Mark Taffin is a tough-as-nails debt collector situated in the small Irish town of Ballymoran. He has a well-earned reputation as The Dreaded, sicced on those who owe large debts… and he always collects, by whatever means necessary.Soon, the citizens of Ballymoran turn to him for help saving their beloved sports field from the bulldozer, as Mega-Corp Sprawley Industries has become interested in it as a location for a new chemical plant, which the citizens worry will turn the town into a wasteland. Sprawley may have the money to pay off council members and enforcers… but Taffin refuses to bend to his whims, and brings the same game to his fight against them as he does to his debt collecting: he’ll make him pay, by any means necessary…Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Non-Action Big Bad: While Sprawley is the main villain of the story, it’s Conway and his thugs who do a majority of the dirty work.

Adaptational Attractiveness: In the book, Taffin is balding, overweight and not very handsome. In the film, he’s played by Pierce Brosnan, who is most definitely not any of those.
