After the disastrous "TA 2" I was hoping that this would be a vast improvement. It is an improvement all right, but in no way a vast one. The film starts out well, with an amusing fight scene taking place in a Troma video store owned by a Hasidic Jew. And I liked the premise: Toxie sells his soul to the Devil, and ends up working against the citizens of Tromaville, when he's supposed to be working for them. But the novel premise goes dry too quickly, and we're bombarded with much of the same hijinks we've seen in the past two "TA" flicks. And the worse things is...there's no gratuitous nudity!!! Yes, I'm whining because of the lack of nudity, and since this is a Troma flick I have the right to. Boobs are one of the essential components of a good Troma movie.
The film definitely has its moments, but overall it's way too dull to recommend. I'd better recommend you check out the original "Toxic Avenger." Hopefully, "Citizen Toxie" will be much better. The previews look great!
My score: 5 (out of 10)
