David (Bobby Soto) and Creeper (Shia LaBeouf), are `tax collectors` for the crime lord Wizard, collecting his cut from the profits of local gangs' illicit dealings. But when Wizard's old rival returns to Los Angeles from Mexico, the business is upended, and David finds himself desperate to protect what matters more to him than anything else: his family.

`The Tax Collector` is Ayer's first directorial effort since his Will Smith-starring Netflix tentpole `Bright` in 2017. The director served as an executive producer on two projects that were released in 2020: The Margot Robbie-led `Birds of Prey` (a spinoff of Ayer's `Suicide Squad`) and the Fox procedural television drama `Deputy.` The network canceled the show after one season.



Written and Directed by David Ayer. Starring Bobby Soto, Cinthya Carmona, George Lopez and Shia LeBeouf

RLJE Films is opening `The Tax Collector` in theaters, on demand, and on digital platforms August 7.
