David Ayer: Man Behind Production Of Crime Thriller Set 'The Tax Collector'

The Tax Collector released on 30 July 2020, which features Hollywood stars like Shia LaBeouf, Bobby Soto, and Cinthya Carmona. And the man behind the production of the newly released movie is David Ayer, who wrote and directed the project.

The crime-drama movie trails the story of a 'tax collector' working for a local crime lord. He later finds his family's safety compromised when the rival of his boss appears in Los Angeles and upends the business.

Ayer's latest South Los Angeles-set shoot-'em-up project is considered as an extremely exploitative bloodbath that showcases the negative image of Latino people, which is kind of controversial.

The movie features two friends Bobby Soto as David Cuevas, and Shia LaBeouf, as Creeper, who makes money by collecting debts from area gangsters. However, the Mexican gangster, their rival, reappears in Los Angeles after a decade and makes an offer that can not be refused. The story revolves around the crime-world as well as a massacre.

Over a week passed, but still, the movie is garnering the bad reviews, it's maybe because of the controversial storyline that negatively shows Latino people.
