Review of Postal (2007) by John K — 14 Jun 2012
"Dear Uwe Boll. It appears that every time you make a serious movie, it feels like a comedy. Is there any way you feel that you could help separate these genres?" asked a generic commenter. Afterwords, Mr.
Boll had a brilliant idea, for once. To actually make a comedy. For those very few people to have ever had the pleasure to play the very controversial video game, like me, this is somewhat of a gem. Every little square inch of Paradise City has been recreated in a way that can only be described as perfect.
Everything, from the nosy homeless people to the very busy banking offices, has been realized to the point of crazy. The story follows a man (played by Zack Ward) as he and his uncle (played by Davie Foley) try to steal a batch of plush toys from an amusement park.
But at the same time, Osama BinLadin is also trying to steal them. If that's not the most stupid plot you have ever heard, please comment here. If not, then.... Mister (or Miss), you are a better man (general term) than I.
All stupid aside, if you played the game, you're in for a treat. If not, you'll probably hate this movie with all your heart. My thoughts don't really count, though. I'm not really a professional.
