The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This is a small little gem of a movie. It has a good script, great acting, and deals with an important subject: the influx of Russian organized crime into the US. It is all the more interesting because the protagonist is not a flashy A-list actor, and his character is just a tax inspector with a mortgage and alimony payments. In this respect, it is much more realistic than typical Hollywood cops & robbers b*******t. This film had several very touching moments, made more poignant by the fact that the main character is a regular working stiff.

If you haven't seen this one, I would run out and rent it. Pantoliano deserves an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of a New York Tax investigator. ....and not to forget the beautiful and talented Elizabeth Berkley--what an unbelievable performance! A must have to any movie collection....

This film reminded me of why low-budget films of earlier decades used to fascinate me: interesting premises, offbeat characters, and even good acting. But one must be tolerant of occasional over-acting (such as by Joe Pantoliano, who is nonetheless good), dialogue that seems at times to be ad libbed, and a screenplay with gaping holes. It is something less than a movie, yet it holds the viewer's interest with an interesting story and characters. There is also some action.

I found this movie personally offensive for the way the main character, a tax investigator is portrayed. This character was so obnoxious, I had to turn away in disgust. Basically, here is the plot. A tax investigator, "Walter Mitty type" dreams of making the big score on a tax evasion case and becoming famous. He decides to go after the Russian mob, headquartered in the Brighton Beach section of New York, who are allegedly buying up gas stations, and then siphoning off the sales tax receipts. However, the tax investigator is so clumsy, aggressive, and undisciplined in his approach to catching these criminals, that he sabotages his own efforts constantly. This guy is so ignorant and obnoxious, you feel like slapping him around. If I had to pick a food to compare with this guys personality it would be Limburger cheese. It just out and out smells bad!! Anyway, the ending is very predictable, and the only memorable part of this movie is how obnoxious the main character was.
