Taffin | The Reboot

By Shane Langan

Reboot, reboot, reboot. You can’t turn to your left without getting jabbed in the eye by a movie franchise reboot.

That’s my shirt. You’ve no manners!

Most such reinventions I couldn’t give a toss about. But this one has set my pulses (that’s right, plural) racing.

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been impatiently waiting 28 long miserable years for a Taffin reboot. And if you haven’t, well…

Ahead of enjoying this modern take on Pierce Brosnan’s stone cold action classic, don’t worry. You won’t have to go back and watch the entire movie in order to know what’s going on. All you need do is watch this – the longest, most exhaustive trailer in modern cinema history.

And now for the main event; a sneak peek of ITV 2’s Taffin : The Series.
