Review of Postal (2007) by Mark R — 13 Jan 2009
Notorious only for being the "worst director in Hollywood" Uwe Boll has decided to give us yet another video game to film adaptation with "Postal." I could give you a brief plot synopsis, but really, what's the point? If the writer didn't care enough to come up with one, I'm not going to try and do it for him.
The film features an all star cast including Zack Ward, J.K. Simmons, Dave Foley, and Verne Troyer. Wait, did I type "all star?" Sorry about that, I mean the exact opposite. Beyond the obvious story problems, acting woes, and jokes that simply fall flat, "Postal" just isn't any fun.
In fact, it's pretty boring. It tires very hard to be over the top, but it fails even at that. This is Uwe Boll's attempt to embrace the moniker of "worst director in Hollywood" by trying to make a movie that acknowledges it's terribleness and revels in it.
By the end of the film though, all I was left with was the fact that Boll even does bad, bad - which is quite a feat. If you weren't planning on doing so already, my advice is to skip this terrible little waste of time.
Unless of course you've been waiting to see a full frontal shot of Dave Foley's junk for years, in which case this annoyingly bad little disaster is the answer to prayers.
