Postal

An ordinary man desperate to find work falls in with a cult leader named Uncle Dave and slides into a violent, chaotic spiral. Their first scheme is a park heist that erupts into a riot of color and crude humor, setting the tone for the film's wild tonal shifts. As the plan spins out of control, they realize a second, even more menacing group is chasing the same prize, turning the caper into a messy collision of factions. The Postal Dude, portrayed by Zack Ward, endures waves of danger and absurdity while crossing paths with criminals and politicians. The script skewers media hype and moral panic through blunt, satirical moments.

Directed by Uwe Boll, Postal was released in 2007 and adapts the video game of the same name. Zack Ward plays the Postal Dude, with Dave Foley as Uncle Dave and J K Simmons as Candidate Welles.

Critics were largely split, with many lamenting the film's violence and crude humor while others saw a biting look at media sensationalism and political theater. It examines how an ordinary person can be drawn into chaos by powerful forces.

Over time Postal developed a reputation among genre fans as Uwe Boll's most infamous title, cited in discussions of video game adaptations and transgressive comedy. It remains a talking point when people discuss early 2000s cult cinema.
