Although marked low becuase papers dont like its antri patriotic attitude and the fact they made fun of 9/11 this movie is extreamly funny and very crude sensless violence witch just about every action movie has and i seriously dont know how you people dont like it losen up and get over ur "patriotic" attitude its just a movie.

Uwe Boll made an excellent movie. I don't know how. Disgustingly funny, brutal satire of everything from the war on terror to Uwe Boll's ruining of video games. There are a few ultra-cheesy/campy moments (excessive mugging and a cheesy line) that should've been cut, but they're about 20 seconds total. The rest? Pure gold, as long as you can handle full-frontal Dave Foley nudity. Maybe Boll's f\inally found his milieu. I still haven't forgiven him for Alone In The Dark, but a couple more films like Postal and I might consider it. Well worth the couple bucks.
Ken G gave it a2:
An attempt at satire by someone who has no apparent gift for satire. Boll seems to be doing nothing but throwing in every stupid idea that popped into his head. I might say this was mean-spirted (not that such a thing is bad in the right hands), but this is too inept to be mean-spirited.

First off, this movie SUCKS....BAD....but was i expecting anything less than crap.....NO, of course not. this is a disgusting, rude, senseless violence filled, insulting, and overall brainless feature....but thats also what gives it what little charm it has. at times its quite humorous and clever then it switches right back to COMPLETELY brainless and stupid but all the while being dare i say....entertaining??? this is a film with everything but the kitchen sink is thrown in, and this is a bit of a spoiler.......but seeing Uwe Boll get shot in the nuts is priceless.....i think even HE knows he sucks.

The start is slow, but does manage to set down the mood for the rest of the movie as well as capture the feeling i had with the game very well and has many references to it. I will agree with Vincent P that it hardly captures the agony that makes the main character go postal. Many subtile visual "jokes" will probably be missed by many if only seen once which is a shame.
Jeremy gave it a9:
I haven't played the games, so I don't know how they compare, but I found this movie hilarious. It's not meant to be taken seriously people, it's a commentary about how programed people are to reject anything politically incorrect, as they are obviously doing in response to this film. Whether you buy, rent or pirate, if you've got a sense of humor you should see this movie.
