Uwe Boll’s Postal gets a good review

It’s official, and they don’t seem like they’re kidding: Uwe Boll‘s game-to-movie adaptation of Running With Scissors’ controversial game isn’t just funny, it’s “…a damn good movie. Really.”

Don’t call shenanigans just yet. Todd of twitchfilm.net, the one responsible for the glowing review, states that even though the movie itself was rough, crude and very offensive on all levels, it actually had a message to deliver.

That underneath the absurdity and vulgarity of the film (elements prominently featured in the game Postal), it also had sharp, unrelenting social commentary and witty, unforgiving satire about religious extremism and politics as we know it.

The film is compared to acts that go out of their way to be offensive, such as South Park – except with much higher production values and casting – while hiding smart and biting political wit with toilet humor and violence. This, coupled with a blend of solid writing, an interesting cast, and Uwe Boll’s technical skills concerning special effects and editing, as well as experience with game-to-movie adaptations – warrants Postal to be named “an unqualified success, a film that knows what it wants to be and hits all of its marks.” Although Todd maintains that the movie isn’t exactly for everyone to appreciate – it’s as offensive as it can get  – he couldn’t remember the last movie that made him laugh that hard before.
