Postal

Postal is a filmed in Cloverdale comedy based on a violent video game. Director Ewe Boll who the critics have not been kind to of late was inspired (or uninspired to be accurate) to bring the game to the silver screen causing the critics to undoubtedly go “postal” on him again. Toronto’s Zack Ward is our unemployed trailer trash postal dude who turns to his uncle Dave for help. Dave (Dave Foley) is a charlatan new age guru going broke who plans to get solvent again by cornering the market of a much sought after toy. To do this he exploits his nephew’s desperate situation by putting him in charge of a heist to steal the entire supply from a local amusement park but as it turns out those toys also are also wanted by Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban. This sets the stage for an inordinate amount of ordinance and a stockpile of victimized innocent bystanders. I get that the over the top carnage is there to push the envelope but Postal is one envelope that needs to go directly to the dead letter office.
