A phony cult leader (Dave Foley) hires a jobless trailer-park denizen (Zack Ward) to help him carry out his plot to save his compound from closure. Meanwhile, Osama bin Laden and his minions plan to lace copies of a popular cartoon character with biological agents.

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.

C-

With Postal, Boll clearly set out to make history's most offensive, hateful movie. As is his custom, he failed spectacularly.

1/5

Postal goes from offensive 9/11 comedy (window washers on the WTC) to trailer-park crudity and back with no rhyme or reason.

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.

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.

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]

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.

Critics hate it because they lack a sense of humor. This movie is pure, unadulterated chaos. It’s offensive, it’s cheap, and it’s freaking hilarious. One of the few game adaptations that actually feels like the source material. It's a cult classic for a reason. If you want to have a blast and don't care about "political correctness," this is the one. A total banger!

This movie is funny! Kind of all over the place but if you don’t take it too seriously you’ll enjoy.

God-awful movie, terrible writing, terrible scenes, and barely any consistency, but goddamn if it didn't capture the games. If you're gonna be a "film bro" or "game bro" and harass me, then stop reading, but Dude just isn't that much as he is in the games or how Running With Scissors has made him to be. As someone in the fandom and VERY lore heavy, everyone is basically how they are in Paradise, just not Dude. Anyway, the writing is ass and so are multiple of the shots, but it made me laugh as a huge Postal fan.

One of the funniest, most absurd and offensive movies you'll ever watch. This movie is one of my personal favorites. It's a good movie to watch with friends over your family (for obvious reasons)

For those that are easily offended this movie isn’t for you. If you are either a fan of the video game series or like edgy and offensive comedies than this is the movie for you. The movie comes off as an indie film and the story, characters and locations are similar to the game itself. At the end of the day it’s postal so it gets 5 stars.

This movie is BAD. STUPID. And got Poor writing. However, the reason it gets 5 stars is because it is POSTAL we are talking about. Edgy jokes are a PART of the series, and Uwe Boll captured it nicely in my opinion. It DOESN'T NEED good writing, because it's POSTAL. It's like expecting a touching, heartbreaking story from a film for Toddlers.
