This film is one of the better TV-films I ever saw. The acting is OK, the story is enjoyable and there are some memorable funny and tense scenes. There's nothing award-worthy here but it's certainly different than most made-for-TV-movies. I've always found Louis-Gosset Jr. to be under-appreciated, but it's mostly Jonathan Silverman who surprised me with a solid performance. Michael Madsen is OK, but he's a ghost of his other bad characters like his Mr. White. The story is a pretty basic cops-chase formula: the two inspectors gotta catch a serial killer before he kills again. It's no lethal weapon but it has it's funny moments. It's certainly not a waste of time...so have a look when you have the chance.6.5/10

This is way above the general standard of TV movies. Beautifully acted by the two likable leads as well as terrific baddie who reminds me of an actor from years ago who always played baddies but I cannot remember his name (Barry something?). An unusual plot, identity theft and a very credible storyline apparently based on truth, albeit probably a composite, it moves at a cracking pace grabs you by the throat from the very beginning and does not let go until the last frame. Throw in the odd bit of humor and crisp direction and cinematography and you have a movie that could easily have been shown in movie theaters. My only criticism is that these guys are postal inspectors and you just have to wonder where all the real policemen were. Just sit back in your armchair and 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?

It was a pleasure seeing Gossett and Silverman recreating their characters in a movie even better than the original. While the crime being investigated is less dramatic than in the first film, it is both more common and -- as the film develops -- creepier, creating a feeling of threat that any viewer can feel. Once again the plotting and dialog never strokes a false note and the film-making craftsmanship keeps things cooking along at just the right pace, intermixing the criminal investigation with the exploration of characters you'd like to have as friends. I hope there'll soon be a number 3.
