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.

0/4

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.

1/4

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.

Compared to the trials and tribulations of the 2020s, this just doesn’t move the needle.

I will be honest with you. I recognize the movie by the scene where innocent children are shot to death in details. This is the reason why this movie deserves absolutely nothing, not even a piece of respect. Take my advice and never watch this movie. Ever. God protect children from crappy things this this :'(

This movie is SO bad but SO good at the same time, maybe I'm biased because I love the franchise but it's made me laugh so hard

Ultimately pointless in it's crude and offensive nature, but what can one expect in this movie based on one of the most infamous games of all time?

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!
