Full review available here: http://www.denofgeek.com/movies/mystery-dvd-club/29525/mystery-dvd-club-taffin

Taffin is the kind of man who crushes a glass between a man’s hands and rips the shirts off women for no apparent reason, though thankfully not at the same time. He’s constantly talked about as a man who can get things done and is willing to use whatever means necessary. Just to prove that point, his first major scene is fighting three thugs in a restaurant to get someone’s money back. Despite his gruff exterior, Taffin is also a man who brings fresh fish for his mum, he reads of an evening and his former teacher believes he is intelligent enough to go off and make something of himself in the world.

Brosnan makes Taffin a charismatic central figure and, above line delivery aside, does his best with some woefully cliched dialogue. Sandwiched in between Remington Steele and his tenure as Bond, he also makes the most of his few action sequences. The opening restaurant confrontation is the peak, a wittily choreographed spat with three brothers who Taffin takes down easily with a witty one liner or a keen right hook. It’s not hard to see why he was in consideration for Bond at this point, though tangles with Remington Steele had ensured Timothy Dalton got in there first.
