The Inspectors 2: A Shred of Evidence (2000)
Great to see them back!
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.
The Inspectors (1998)
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.
