Postal is a 2007 film based on the 2003 computer game Postal. The film is directed by filmmaker Uwe Boll, and filmed in Cloverdale, British Columbia. Postal premiered in Montreal on July 22, 2007 during the Fantasia Festival.

Initial trailers market the film as a shock comedy, and have caused controversy as they show a jet flying into the South Tower of the World Trade Center, reminiscent of the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was later revealed that this scene is in fact the opening scene of the movie, where two of the hijacker terrorists get to know that their sign-up deal for the "99 perfect virgins" might not work out due to the lack of resources after too many recent martyrs, and decide to hijack the plane to the Bahamas instead, only to be overpowered by the airplane passengers, who, in the struggle for the controls, end up driving the plane into one of the towers.

In his seminar at Breakpoint 2007, Boll has noted that he will "probably end up in jail for it", and claimed that he wanted to create a movie that is "ruthless, just like Monty Python movies used to be".

A cast listing on Boll's website shows that the film will also feature Richard Kyanka, one of Boll's opponents in his infamous "critic boxing" matches, as well as Vince Desiderio, the producer of the Postal video games.

Recent news revealed that the film will be released in the USA May 23, 2008, although Uwe Boll claimed it would be released October 12, 2007. On May 16, 2008 theater distributors pulled out of their deal with Boll for a wide release. Postal, as of May 16, was set to be released in only four screens, down significantly from the original 1,500 screens. As of May 20, its screen count has increased to 12 screens. The movie was released in German theatres October 18th. A rated and unrated DVD, and an unrated Blu-ray are scheduled to be released August 26th. Each edition comes with the full version of Postal 2 on a bonus DVD.

Postal opened at number 27 in the German box office, taking in $79,353 from 48 screens and has banked $133,568 as of November 11. In Austria it ended its box office run after two weeks with $5,165. As of February 10, 2008, it has grossed a total of $142,761 worldwide.

The film opened in limited release in the United States on May 23, 2008, playing in 21 theaters. With 2 more following on later dates. The movie has been banned in all but 4 theaters nationwide.

Recently Uwe Boll stated that he would make a Postal 2, even if it went direct-to-video, considering that his film BloodRayne 2: Deliverance was a successful direct-to-video sequel.'

Due to the film's controversial subject nature regarding 9/11, Uwe Boll has claimed that the movie was banned in all but 4 theaters in the United States.

Theatrical distributors are boycotting Postal because of its political content. We were prepared to open on 1500 screens all across America on May 23rd. Any multiplex in the U.S. should have space for us, but they're afraid... We have even tried to buy a few screens in New York and Los Angeles, and they won't let us even rent the theaters! I urge independent exhibitors to contact us and book 'Postal'! Audiences have been expecting the film and I don't think exhibitors should censor what gets played in U.S. theaters.

On May 23, 2008 the official Postal movie website reported that the movie would open on one day in 21 theaters with two more following suit at later times in America.

Postal received generally negative reviews from critics. As of July 1, 2008, the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 9% of critics gave the film positive reviews, based on 34 reviews (with two of the three positive reviews coming from the same website).

Despite the controvesy, Postal won two awards at the Hoboken International Film Festival, Uwe Boll won the best director award along with $500 while the film won the Best of Showing Award.
