kosmasp I'm not sure if it is a saying or if I'll be quoting it correctly if it is, but here goes: some of its parts are better than the sum of its parts! So I actually liked a couple of the sketches, but as a whole there were a bit too many moments that just didn't work. The humor generally speaking is just silly, so if you don't like that, you may as well stay away generally.The movie has a sick humor, which also may also work in its favor while you watch it or against it. It doesn't take any prisoners and Boll does make fun of himself. n the other hand sometimes you can't tell how much truth there is behind the jokes. Like when he repeats that some drivers of a specific nationality have to be shot on both his audio commentaries (entertaining to listen to, to a degree by the way), you do wonder where the joke ends and the his true nature/feelings start. He surely is one who likes to provoke (which is why the audio commentaries are always a hoot to listen to, if you are not too easily offended and have a general hate regarding his personality) ...
jlthornb51 Visionary film maker Uwe Boll's Postal is considered the greatest of all his works. Misunderstood and unfavorably viewed by some, it is indeed his sharpest piece of observation to date. It is a courageous motion picture that skilfully uses humor and satire to cut to the bone of the most significant issues of our times. Boll has no respect for the shabby conventions and euphemistic ridiculousness of world society and demands truth in every scene without exception. The cast is nothing less than superb and David Foley gives the performance of a lifetime in a part that is finally worthy of his exceptional gifts. Superficially, Postal is an outrageous comedy of thrills but look deeper and it's an uncompromising directorial statement that is totally unafraid and incredibly iconoclastic in intent. Uwe Boll is sometimes seen as an angry and erratic individual yet that inner anger is strategically used in this film with results that are purely devastating. tactically, the brilliant use of comedy to tear back the curtain and expose the dishonesty and lies which enslave us all is much more than an act of cinematic art. It is the initial step in a revolution, a cinema uprising meant to incite the audiences to express their own outrage without fear.
schizoidplaza Yes this is a Uwe Boll film. A movie by a director as hated as Edward "Ed" Wood.Although I am often just a passive fan of his works, often seeing greater potential in his ability than he hastily delivers this gem had me smiling from ear to ear and often laughing out loud from start to finish.After being a solid fan of RWS (runningwithscissors.com/) then game duo Postal and Postal 2 I found this film a near complete homage at least to the second game venture.Although the film peaks quite early any true fan to the game will thoroughly enjoy this one.Notable performances by Dave Foley as Uncle Dave and Erick Avari as Habib.Zack Ward does a respectable job as the postal dude though I've seen him commit better to other roles.A must have addition to the fudge pack.
chaz-noland Uwe. You are not a good movie director but this movie is way to much fun. It is so politically incorrect that makes Salo seem sane. The reason that this movie is so good is that it is by far the most entertaining movie I have ever seen. It takes the insanity of Postal 2 and makes it into a genius pot-headed ride into insanity. It meta itself halfway through the movie and it does not care. Postal Dude is awesome and his transformation into a nut case is too great. The police brutality scenes are so weird that I can't help but love it. Postal Dude's uncle is the funniest dude I have seen in a movie since the dude. The G.W. Bush scene is offensive but still funny. No it isn't good but it is worth the watch. Trust me on this.
