    I know I was definitely high when I watched "Postal" and giving it a 6.4 despite that it was a Uwe Boll movie. I DON'T GIVE A CRAP. Uwe Boll has directed crappy movies throughout his life, but this film had better cinematography as well as a weak, but noticeable morale. Its not a black comedy like the poster advertises, but its a **** good no-stop hell ride for sure.

    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 movie didn't capture the essence of the game at all. We couldn't feel the agony that made the postal man go postal. Most attempts to be funny or over the top, ended up feeling out of place. He did get a few jokes and gags right, I had a few giggles.

    I found this movie to be hillarious whilst others may disagree due to it being at their expense.

    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.

    Uwe Boll's best...which isn't saying much. But at least the man can laugh at himself. Some very funny moments but a lot of juvenile silliness. If you can't stand Boll's other films, though, it's worth seeing just for the trauma inflicted on his...um..."Bolls."

    This movie is funny. It does get stupid a few times but there are many genuine funny parts and they make up for it in the end. ENJOY!

    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.

    Good fun/funny film, not meant to be taken serious. It reflect the humour of the game Postal 2 perfectly. Whilst, raising a lot of serious issues about religion, commercialism and society.

    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. Expand

    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 finally 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. Expand

    While tasteless at times it was pretty damned funny at most points. While some jokes do fall flat, most are pretty hilarious if you are able to understand them. Also kudos to its pretty good similarities to the game. Really caught the dark humor nicely.

    I thought this was a somewhat decent movie. It's the first Boll movie I've seen, and I have to wonder what all the hatred is for. The plot was consistent, the lead was like-able, and it delivers what it promises. It's dark humor mixed with slapstick and violence.

    This is probably the worst movie I have ever seen. Somebody needs to shoot Uwe Boll and stop him from making these horrible movies. I wish I could have my money back and better yet the time that has been taken from my life. This movie goes on the list of my life's worst regrets.

    Manages to be as toothless as he (Boll) is tasteless. Poorly framed, tone-deaf, and nonsensical (yet still Boll's best!).
