Movie Info

Tailing a Brooklyn tax evader, tax investigator Al Benjamin (Joe Pantoliano) uncovers several murders. Ignoring the police and his tax-office boss, Al teams with rookie cop Joseph Romero (Wade Dominguez). Their efforts to solve the killings lead them to the boss of the Russian immigrant community at Brooklyn's Brighton Beach. The boss' attractive daughter Nadia (Elizabeth Berkley) takes an interest in Al. Joseph and Al succeed in getting a state prosecutor to examine the case, but the key figure in the crime remains elusive. A Raymond Chandler-styled voiceover narration moves the story along.

Audience Reviews for The Taxman

  • Oct 10, 2012
    Joe Pantoliano plays his best role ever, Story line is excellent about the Russian Mafia who were strong back in 1998 and this film exposed a lot about what was know to be true back then, 9/11 took our interest away from the Russian Mafia who still to this day are strong in NY and They Own Baltimore. But the movie itself is very thrilling. 5 stars 10-4-12
