The Inspectors

As soon as I read the TV guide I thought this is just like Seven, 'two oddly matched postal inspectors'. Hollywood has a way of taking a hit movie, and then paying idiot writers to make it three or four different ways, and another thing. Why in the heck would they re-make a movie? Because the idiot writers are not unique, no originality, everyone wants to make a fast buck, and when they strike out they send it straight to DVD. i showed my movie script to five friends and all gave me an A+, but try and get someone in Hollywood to read it, and they say they have writers on the payroll. I say good for you, I think I'll go buy some stock in a company that make blank DVDs, I'll be rich.

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.

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.

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.

This one is well above the usual standard for a TV-movie. The plot, involving the investigation by two postal inspectors (Gossett, Jr. and Silverman) following a mail-bombing. The performances are outstanding and very believable, and are able to create a great deal of genuine suspense in the otherwise formula plot. Louis Gossett, Jr. is great as always, and Jonathan Silverman not only supplies some enjoyable comic relief, but shows a surprisingly effective flair for drama. All in all, a very suspenseful and extremely well-made movie. I suggest you give it a look.
