Well-written independent film gets great performance from Pantoliano in the title role. He is a horse's rear end, but he is an honest horse's rear end working as an IRS investigator. This film is purposefully devoid of glamour, and it gives the story that much more integrity. Wade Dominguez dies while making this movie at age 32 of respiratory failure. What a waste! He is terrific here. Robert Townsend is wonderful as the prosecutor, too. Mike Starr from "Ed" is quite good as Pantaliano's boss.
