    Better than expected

    I've long admired the work and professionalism of the U.S. Postal Inspectors Service and was happy to see them showcased in a film featuring such a top talent. I was also afraid that it would come out of Hollywood as your basic bit of brainless showbiz supercops nonsense. What an enjoyable relief to find my fears groundless. This film portrays solid, realistic, believable and honestly likeable characters doing their jobs in one of the worlds finest and least-known law enforcement services. The writing is solid, the direction crisp and the performances first-rate. Highly recommended.

    Return to sender?

    The two cops are working for the post office: so what ? This is not different from any low budget TV police serial. The acting is not bad, but the action is low and the story a whole lot of clichés. If I had paid to see it, I would return it to the producer.

    Good flick! A shame this didn't become a series.

    I didn't expect much, but 10 minutes in I was hooked, and the film didn't disappoint. Silverman znd Gossett are both excellent, as are the supporting characters. As good or better than any episode of NCIS. I will never look at a stsmp machine quite the same way.

    Unexpectedly good mystery

    Came across this one on a streaming channel, as a "recommend for you" based upon movie... Thought what the heck, give it a try. It was a rather slow beginning into the meat of the movie and then it got going. Some twists and turns along the way, nothing predictable and a decent story line. Was this a first class A rated movie, no, but as a what the heck give it a shot B movie, it was okay.

    This is not a postal movie.

    Some of the ads for it led one to think it was. However, it was still an interesting movie of the whodunit genre (at least the first part). Not much of an ending tho. I gave it a 7.
