Review of Postal (2007) by Matt W — 30 Jan 2012

I'm going to post this review with a very specific disclaimer: Under no circumstances should you pay any more than 5 US dollars for this film. Ever. Maybe queue it up on Netflix or something.

Uwe Boll is not a well-regarded director, having been behind such disasters as Alone In The Dark, House Of The Dead, and BloodRayne. With Postal he's taking on a game who's sole purpose seemed to be to infuriate media watchdogs (hell, the sequel features you GUNNING THOSE WATCHDOGS DOWN), and Postal at the very least captures that provocative spirit. A lot of it isn't funny, but when Uwe gets his A-game on... It's still pretty bad. But it's a film that has this self awareness. It's sort of like From Paris With Love in that respect. It's so terribly cheesy that the director and actors just HAD to be doing it on purpose. It has a Third Reich theme park for crying out loud!

All in all, Postal probably isn't worth the effort to track down, nor the hard-earned cash to purchase. If you are fortunate enough to have a friend dumb enough to con into purchasing this film, then go right ahead and laugh a little at the film, then quite a lot at his dumb ass.

OVERALL: 6/0/10.
