“Postal” is done in the same vein as “South Park” and “Team America” but there is one crucial difference, those films didn’t have real actors (they were animated or with puppets) so it felt easier to forgive the offensiveness. If you really don’t care about the offensiveness, this is another “Jackass” or “Borat”.

In “Postal”, an unnamed guy (Zack Ward) realises how much he hates his town known as ‘Paradise’. He soon finds himself battling dangerous cults, the Taliban terrorist group and causing as much mayhem as possible. It’s violent, full of nudity, has a ton of politically incorrect jokes and is completely unapologetic.

The cast isn’t all that great. There are some famous faces such as J.K. Simmons (“Spider-Man”), Erick Avari (“The Mummy”) and Verne Troyer (“The Love Guru”) but they add virtually nothing. The film’s director, Uwe Boll (“Bloodrayne”), makes a cameo appearance along with the creator of the “Postal” videogame. Definitely the most controversial character here is Osama bin Laden and I have to say that I didn’t find him that funny.

“Postal” shows such graphic images surrounding terrorism, mass-murder and nudity that it’s sometimes hard to laugh at it even when then is some clever satire going on. I like the job interview scene that reminded me of “Office Space” but the rest of the film is so overly vile that I felt uneasy. When it’s a cartoon or puppets, we can take the gratuitous sex and violence but when it’s actual people on the screen, it just isn’t as funny. It’s like trying to do a Bugs Bunny cartoon with a real guy, it just isn’t as funny. “Postal” will shock and offend the uptight and it will thrill those without morals but I’m in the middle; it’s sort of funny but it just uses the wrong means to deliver the humour.
