Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Adam Foidart Sheiz meister Uwe Boll actually shows some promise with "Postal"; it's probably his best film. At least with this one the laughs are intentional and it knows when it's stupid. That said, being the best Uwe Boll film is still like being the most comfortable medieval iron maiden.It's the story of an unnamed man (Zack Ward), a fed-up Joe blo whose overweight wife is cheating on him and whose job situation leaves a lot to be desired. We'll just call him "Postal". After catching the greasy trailer park supervisor on top of his wife, he's fed up with his life. He decides to join his scheming uncle in a con. The uncle in question (Dave Foley) is the leader of a phony cult. Basically he just feeds nonsense to the sheep that will follow him and sleeps with all of the beautiful women who get roped into the compound. Their plan is to steal a shipment of rare Krotchy dolls (think Tickle-Me Elmo, but shaped like a brown cartoon penis instead) and sell them on the internet for big bucks. Little do they know that Al Quaeda terrorists, including Osama Bin Laden also have their eyes on the dolls, which are filled with vials containing the bird flu virus.This movie's pretty bad, but not horrible. There are some genuinely funny jokes, like terrorists getting all worked up over the amount of virgins that will be left in heaven for them or the exact benefits of blowing themselves up. I also enjoyed the random scenes of outlandish violence throughout the film, mostly because a lot of bad child actors get blown away in slow motion. There are gags throughout the film that got multiple chuckles out of me, like a scene where the characters converge on "Little Germany" (formerly "Little Poland") and find Director Uwe Boll there, making fun of himself. I laughed pretty hard at the "explanation" of how exactly he manages to fund all of his terrible video game movies. I also thought that unlike in most of the other Uwe Boll films, the actors here were actually trying and doing a pretty good job. Zack Ward as Postal is a likable main character, if only because he's the only person that acts somewhat like a normal human being when confronted with the rampant madness in this film. Finally, the film could have easily been racist, but Uwe Boll and Bryan C. Knight make a point to satirize pretty much every religious group and demographic out there. This is how you do offensive humor; by offending everyone in turn, including yourself. That shows genuine understanding of distasteful comedy and in turn, genuine intelligence. It finally shows some improvement for Uwe Boll's films and I have to tip my hat to that.Despite the praise I have for the movie, it's still not enough to recommend it. For every joke that works, there are far more that fall completely flat. It's more so that when a joke doesn't work it isn't merely unfunny, it lingers on the screen for way too long and usually comes back again to remind you how unfunny it was the first time you saw it. Don't confuse "unfunny" for offensive either. I'm talking about a scene where two characters that we've barely seen during the entirety of the film start talking to each other like this: "What? I thought you were retarded!" says gun totting Bimbo number 1. "No, I was pretending" says the other bimbo. No punch line there, just a bad exchange. Some of the other bad jokes are just really obvious and have been done before and better. I'm talking about the penis-shaped Krotchy dolls, the full-frontal male nudity accompanied with literal toilet humor, the gross hillbilly and fat wife jokes, that kind of humor. The films shows promise at the beginning, but as it goes along the plot gets needlessly complicated and the jokes less and less inspired.The best I can say about "Postal" is that it's more of a bad, leaning towards mediocre comedy than a truly abysmal film like say... "House of the Dead", "Alone in the Dark" or "In the Name of the King". Those are so bad they're nearly unwatchable. If I was held at gunpoint and had to choose one of Uwe Boll's films to watch I would still go with "BloodRayne" or "BloodRayne: The Third Reich" but this would be an OK third place. I can't quite recommend it, but I feel it is my duty to note that this is a step towards better filmmaking for Uwe Boll and I applaud anyone who is actually progressing. The people in the film did actually manage to get some laughs out of me so I wish them all the best. (On DVD, May 17, 2014)

casarino I don't think I've ever seen a movie more desperate to slaughter sacred cows than "Postal." I wish that were enough to recommend it.Unfortunately, while there are a few good performances (Zack Ward is game, and Dave Foley survives by pretending he's in a different movie), it's disheartening and flat-out depressing to watch director Uwe Boll botch shot after shot with poorly-timed punchlines, bizarre editing, and an apparent lack of understanding of what humor even is. I wanted to like "Postal." This is Boll's shot at a Grand Guignol satire of everything he can think of, including terrorism, gun culture, rednecks, women, hippies, religion, cops, himself, and, of course, "political correctness." But the tone is too sunny and disposable to be "dark" - even though death and mayhem are everywhere, there's never a sense that anything's at stake. The jokes, such as they are, work better in theory than in execution, but even in theory they're mostly lazy and predictable (the idea that Bin Laden is hiding out in the USA and is BFF's with GWB is as clever as things get). It even fails to be subversive - even the "OMG they went there!" jokes are less offensive than annoying. You want to swat them like flies. And some scenes - like the job interview bit - are simply weird. They want to be satiric, I suppose, but their only target seems to be coherence and the filmmakers' familiarity with human behavior. The fault likes with Boll, who as director & co-writer demonstrates a Tommy Wiseau-like grasp of timing. Pointless bits of "comedy" (like the unemployment office carnage scene) carry on long after we've gotten the predictable joke. I enjoyed Chris Spencer's determination to improvise his way to a laugh (no dice, but he tried), and Troyer is heroically self-deprecating, so there's that. I even laughed out loud once, around the 40-minute mark, when our hero discovered an ingenious way to scale a fence - it was the first (and only) unexpected gag. But my joy was quickly demolished by the wretched performance of Chris Coppola, who counters Foley's insouciance by hysterically stomping any potential laughs deep into the ground. Coppola's idiotic overacting might have worked in a Lloyd Kaufman movie, but here it just serves to remind us that this is a live- action cartoon, and a bad one at that.Look, I'm a guy who loves inappropriate humor and the Tromiest of the Troma movies. And to his credit, Boll clearly enjoyed dreaming up ways to offend as many sensibilities as he could ("Vat kin ve do next? Ah, vat if ve killt all za children, ja?"), so there's that. His movie is definitely better than those unwatchable Friedberg-Seltzer piles of nonsense. Some bits might even earn a chuckle if they weren't so desperately thrown in your face (I hope Verne Troyer and JK Simmons made a looootta money). But while he has vision, and can apparently stretch a dollar - some of the set pieces are well-done - Boll just has no clue how to direct a scene, tell a story, or deliver a punchline. How sad that a movie so eager to please and offend is incapable of either.And yes, Uwe, I'll meet you in the ring, if we must. But I'd rather discuss "Airplane!" over beer and schnitzel.

samuskay i bought this movie. not because i thought it would be good. but only because it came with postal 2.but i decided to watch it and see how bad it was. i can say that this movie went completely against my expectations.in short i truly loved this film. is captures the game perfectly.i don't think its a great film. but i haven't enjoyed a film this much in years. 10 out of 10 from me.if you like black comedy. if you like the game. if you like movies which make fun of the government and the problems in the world. then you could do a lot worse then postal.

tonigenilmanda It's like the fifth or sixth time I watch this movie, and every time I discover something new going on the background. And every time I watch it I certainly wonder how this movie can be rated following what seems to be the "Uwe Boll standard".I don't know anything about the rest of his movies; that game-to-film adaptation thing is definitely not my cup of tea. A film adaptation of "Street Fighter"?... come on, how can you be disappointed, what the f--- did you expect? Fortunately, I didn't know Postal was a video game.Its opening scene is a really good presentation card. The movie is brilliant. It's not on the artsy side of movie-making, sure, but it's really fun and clever. In fact, I think it's the only actually clever movie regarding all what came in the aftermath of the 9/11 events. No dramatization, no misplaced patriotism, just a witty look on all that came after: the media circus, the religious fanaticism, the shadows over the Bush administration... come on, he even pokes fun on the, let's say, "German legacy".So no, Uwe Boll may be the worst whatever in the world but this movie is not the usual trash, is not the usual Hollywood trash and definitely is no trash at all.Jihad!!
