Critic Reviews

Jeremy Knox

It's such an insanely fun ride that most of its flaws are forgivable. Read full review

Peter Hartlaub

Not only less than horrible, but actually occasionally enjoyable. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

A provocation first, an insult second, a publicity stunt third, and a film a distant fourth. Read full review

Kyle Smith

At last: Uwe Boll has made his first intentionally funny film. Read full review

Michael Harris

What Boll gives us is a boring beating over the head. Read full review

Aaron Hillis

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

Elizabeth Weitzman

Where Boll's movies were once amusingly atrocious, Postal is so aggressively tasteless and knowingly idiotic, there's just no fun to be had. Read full review

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

Probably the only Uwe Boll movie that is actually good. Let alone, a faithful adaptation of a video game no doubt.

I didn't expect to give it a 10 but it's not all that bad. Good story, good concept, easy plot, and just fun from start to finish. Many people say this is offensive but this is base off the Postal series what did you expect? Still it's not all that bad

Once you get past the very low scores, the movies is fun to watch if youve got "nothing better to do ". It is cheeky and tries to be offensive but none of the offensiveness should be taken seriously and should instead just be laughed at. When viewed like that the movie is pretty watchable.

At the very least, it follows the same philosophy of the game it's based on: to be "provoking and controversial for the hell of it".

Unfortunately the action and comedy aren't enough to excuse this movie for its nonsense and cheap satire, don't hold up to Postal 2 (which in itself isn't the best satire ever made, but it tries and it's fun in the process), and finally they are not enough to allow you (Boll) to do self-irony.

I liked the Dude for what it's worth. Both the idea of not making him like "the Dude" right from the start and making him "go postal" over time (even if the transition is meh, and necessarily so since so is everything else around it) and both the actor's performance.

Overall, I give it a 5 out of 10 because there's worse out there and because of minor fanservice it has towards Postal 2 fans, but those are not saying much, I'm still being pretty generous here.… Expand

It's not even enjoyable in a morbid way like some of Boll's other movies. At the point of making this, he's become an experienced enough filmmaker to not make incredibly stupid decisions. But those mistakes are what made his work funny to begin with, so now he's simply untalented and boring.… Expand
