Postal

An irredeemable exploitation satire, based on a videogame, from schlock director Uwe Boll, "Postal" is an anti-Semitic, phallic-obsessed, childish movie about nothing. Apocalyptic muscleman Dude (Zack Ward) lives a miserable existence in a trailer park with his obese and adulterous wife. Armed to the teeth, Dude takes on sex-addict-cult-guru Uncle Dave and Al Qaeda ops conspiring to spread avian bird flu via a cargo of beans-&-franks penis doll toys. Many gunshots are fired and many breasts exposed, but nothing can compensate for Boll’s utterly amateurish talent and sloppy approach at every level of filmmaking. Uwe Boll is the epitome of a hack director who thinks that putting an Osama impersonator and a George Bush lookalike together in a scene will automatically make some comic impression. It just made me sleepy and tired.

Rated R, 83 mins. (D-) (Zero Stars)
