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....
