What to Know

Critics Consensus

An attempt at political satire that lacks any wit or relevance, Postal is nonetheless one of Uwe Boll's more successful films -- for what it's worth.

Nathan Rabin AV Club With Postal, Boll clearly set out to make history's most offensive, hateful movie. As is his custom, he failed spectacularly. Rated: C- Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out Postal goes from offensive 9/11 comedy (window washers on the WTC) to trailer-park crudity and back with no rhyme or reason. Rated: 1/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review John Anderson Newsday Convinced that Arab terrorists are inherently hilarious, and that shooting fish in the leaky barrel of American pop culture takes marksmanship, Boll is a boor, and a symptom of something sad and dehumanizing. Rated: 0/4 Oct 18, 2008 Full Review Martin Tsai New York Sun The German Mr. Boll and the Canadian Mr. Knight seem to want to comment on American culture, but their bystander perspectives clearly do nothing to inform them how to maximize their material. Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Más Gamers A bad movie based on a lousy video game. It barely works as a satire, and as a comedy only managed to extract a couple of laughs out of me. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 1/4 Apr 3, 2017 Full Review John Lekich Georgia Straight Although the best parts of Postal seem driven by a committed cast and a fearless sense of juvenile experimentation, there's little here that's consistently funny or original.

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. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review bill k more garbage from uwe boll Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Hi there! Do you wants to sign my petition? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/15/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍀 3.7/10 Ed Sheeran looking motherfucker with machine gun Kills neighbors. I counted six laughs That’s enough to not make it a certified stinker. ngl most of this is awful but I feel like it doesn’t really care. there’s a couple good little chuckles here and there, but most of it falls pretty flat. Still it never really was dreadful. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/25/24 Full Review Samuel H Good movie, very postal, don't expect anything else but I don't get why it gets so low scores Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/24 Full Review Samuel G JOYA INFRAVALORADA 10000/10 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Read all reviews
