THE TAX COLLECTOR 2 (2025) – The Streets Remember. And So Does He.

They killed his family. Now he’s coming for theirs.

The Tax Collector 2 (2025) is a brutal and unflinching return to the violent underworld of Los Angeles, where power is fragile, blood is currency, and loyalty is everything. After the chaos and betrayal of the first film, David Cuevas (Bobby Soto) emerges from the ashes—not as a collector, but as a man with a war to finish.

Still reeling from the loss of his family and the betrayal by his own people, David has vanished from the streets—but not from the minds of those who wronged him. Rumors swirl: he’s gone soft. He’s disappeared. He’s dead. They’re all wrong.

When a new cartel backed by corrupt officials rises from the south and starts burning through L.A.’s territories, David is forced to return—not as a tax collector, but as a kingmaker. With Creeper (Shia LaBeouf) presumed dead but possibly alive in the shadows, David begins assembling a brutal new network of soldiers, street prophets, and ex-rivals with vendettas of their own. This isn’t about tribute anymore. It’s about taking back the city—block by block.

Directed once again by David Ayer (End of Watch, Fury), the sequel leans heavier into urban warfare, psychological tension, and the mythos of gangland honor. It’s raw. It’s personal. And it's no longer about surviving. It’s about owning everything the system tried to take away.

Because when you’ve got nothing left to lose… collecting becomes conquering.
