Jacob T Uwe Boll’s Postal (2007) isn’t just a movie—it’s an explosion of pure, unfiltered chaos that takes the very concept of satire and beats it over the head with a shovel. Based on the controversial video game series, Postal is a cinematic Molotov cocktail: offensive, absurd, and relentlessly nihilistic. And yet, in all its anarchic glory, it achieves something rare—it embodies "absolute cinema" in the most deranged way possible. To call Postal "unapologetic" is an understatement. Boll throws every taboo imaginable onto the screen, from terrorism and religious extremism to American consumerism and political corruption. He doesn’t just break the fourth wall; he obliterates it, mocking his own reputation with a self-insert cameo that cements his status as a filmmaker who truly does not care what anyone thinks. But here’s where Postal ascends into the realm of absolute cinema. It operates on pure, unrestrained vision. It may be vulgar, crass, and offensive, but it is never half-hearted. Every frame is loaded with reckless energy—scenes play out with the kind of unfiltered madness that only a director completely unbound by industry norms can achieve. The result is a film that feels like it was conjured from the depths of an alternate reality where taste and restraint do not exist. Is Postal a good movie? Not in any conventional sense. But as a piece of cinema that embraces chaos as both form and function, it is an unhinged masterpiece. It is cinema at its most extreme, its most fearless—a movie that laughs in the face of conventional storytelling and dares you to look away. In its own deranged way, Postal is absolute cinema.

I genuinely can not lie to you, I felt so excited at almost every moment of the movie even if it felt like something you´d see on a czech 15+ channel (which is usually not a good thing) AND HE EVEN SAID THE THING!! HE SAID I REGRET NOTHI- ahemn but anyway that´s why I think this movie was awesomesauce!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Oaklee D This is the kind of stuff I expected out of a Postal adaptation. Filled with very crude and potty humour, it did get some laughs out of me. One of Uwe Bolls more entertaining outings. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review John C 2007’s 'Postal' stands out as Uwe Boll’s most entertaining film, which might not sound like high praise given his filmography, but - believe me - it's the best of the bunch. The movie unapologetically revels in its outrageous humor, pulling no punches and sparing no sensibilities. You’ll need a thick skin not to be offended, as it gleefully lampoons everything from societal norms to world events which obviously were very tragic when they occurred in real life. The first half of the film shines with some surprisingly sharp social commentary, offering glimpses of clever satire amidst the chaos. However, the second half trades wit for sheer absurdity, diving headfirst into gross-out gags that lose some of the momentum built earlier. While 'Postal' feels a bit dated today, it kind of doubles as a bizarre time capsule of 2007, capturing the absurdities of the time with a manic, no-holds-barred approach to a loose plot about an 'average Joe' of a guy, finding himself involved in no less than two plots from different bunches of nutters, all trying to destroy the world for their own ends. If you lived through the era and can appreciate its madness with a sense of humour, you’ll find it an unexpectedly fun ride. For all its flaws, it’s a weirdly fascinating film worth a watch if you know what you’re getting into.
