The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
In this day and age, there are petty criminals and then there are those who have become proficient in their ability. These individuals have developed such a skill in their crime, they are considered one of the most annoying, but certainly the most lucrative crimes today. Just as there are postal predators, there has arisen the Postal Inspectors who specialize in hunting, tracking and eventually apprehending Identity Thieves. This is the story, the second in the series, concerning these men. This movie is called " The Inspectors II. " With Louis Gossett Jr. as Frank and Jonathan Silverman as Alex they trail a masterful thief whom they believe is known as 'Joe' (Michael Madsen). The movie is a suspenseful and dramatic recreation of one of many whom the Postal service daily confront. The acting is top notch with Madsen giving a terrific performance. This is one of those particular series which will garner other films of like subject, providing the acting remains superior. ****
Not bad at all. The first half is taken up with a lot of scene setting, but the second half is busy busy busy. Madsen is even more taciturn than usual, ambling menacingly through the film in a sharp pair of shades and some great lines.I admit it doesn't sound promising; two Postal Inspectors are hardly going to turn out to be the most action-packed duo since Crockett and Tubbs (even Madsen's character chuckles when he hears 'The Postal Inspectors' are after him), but they carry it off.There's also lots of interesting and worrying detail on just how easy it seems to be to rack up a few dodgy credit cards and live your life as several people. As a previous poster said - buy a shredder. And don't smirk if ever someone pulls a badge on you and shouts "Halt - we're the Postal Inspectors". Taunt them at your peril - they've got a huge pile of Form 154B's which they're itching to issue you....
This was one of the those movies you rent thinking, well I hope this the doesn't completely waste 2 hours of my life, and then by the end of the movie you kind of wish it wasn't over.You don't need to see the first one to follow this, it is pretty easy, but a great plot. It is based on a true story, and is a great plot.Louis Gossett Jr returns to the same magic he had in Iron eagle, and Jonathan Silverman plays a great role. The plot is about a couple of guys involved in credit fraud, and they get the postal inspectors involved. Enjoy
Two US postal inspectors (Gossett & Silverman) uncover an identity theft scheme with a particularly dangerous perp Madsen). In addition to being an okay made-for-tv whodunnit, this film gives insights into how identity theft, a crime on the rise which can hit anyone anywhere anytime, and how to prevent it. Worth a look. Got your shredder yet?
