I certainly didn’t see this coming! Wired’s Chris Kohler has a blog up describing how bad the Postal movie is, and I must say I’m shocked and amazed.
Boll seems out to shock his audience into stunned disbelief rather than actually entertain them. Early in the movie, we get a long, leisurely shot of a fully nude Foley scratching his reproductive organs. I don’t want to sound like I personally was offended or shocked by anything. In fact, the only time I laughed was during the movie’s opening sequence, a comedy skit in the cockpit of one of the September 11 airplanes (they’re fighting over the number of virgins they get in Paradise). It was legitimately well-paced and funny. But it was followed by 90 minutes of flat jokes.
