Film Threat.com 11/22/99

A thoroughly enjoyable film, reminiscent of Fargo in that it perfectly mixes dark humor with brutal violence...a disturbing and subtly humorous performance.


Product Description

A time-bomb is ticking and it's postal worker OREN STARKS (Brad Garrett of CBS's Everybody Loves Raymond). Oren is stressed with paranoid delusions. Psychologist Dr. Nicolas Brink is attempting to create a "psychological vaccine" to defuse these human time-bombs which seem to be "going postal" at an alarming rate. Almost everyone at this post office is on the brink of insanity. At the center of the storm is a prior massacre survivor TAMMY who loves a man who'll show her what true love is...

5.0 out of 5 stars dark comedy full of suspense and psychological symbolism, July 26, 1999
Postal Worker is a beautifully made movie that was shot in Industry City, Los Angeles (as I was told by the director). The fact that all the characters gave the sense that "something was missing from their cranium" is what leads you to stay intrigued until the conclusion, which to some may seem predictable. But what's facinating, is seeing the factors that derive from soley one person (not Oren) that lead to the conclusion. After speaking to the director J.J., it was more than rewarding to learn the history and derivation of the movie. This movie is definitely one of my favorites, along with Clockwatchers, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Tank Girl, and possibly Clockwork Orange(I still haven't decided what I think about and if I even like that one yet...those of you who've seen Clockwork Orange know what I'm talking about). But if you like any of the above movies, you'll definitely love Postal Worker!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Right on the Money, November 24, 2001
OK, so it's no Schindlers' List. On the other hand it's not trying to be. Im a mail carrier so from my perspective it's a funny movie. Some of the classics are Orens' Paranoia to the point he has to record daily occurances on his route. The Postmaster offering the office screw-ups promotions. The utterly dead on spoof of Postal on-the-job-training videos. Add to this some funny sight gags. And you get a quite entertaining movie. I happened to see this on HBO and recorded it and passed it around my small office, the other carriers loved it. The supervisor that watched it mysteriously found it "not funny". That just adds to its charm. Some of the humor is crass, and you really have to suspend your disbelief. But just enjoy it for what it is and youll have a laugh.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of time, November 3, 2007
By Turtleman (St. Louis) - See all my reviews
If you were given this video for free, you would still want refund.

Considering how large the Postal service is, how it is found in every community across our nation, it amazes me that no film makers seem to have a clue as to what goes on there. There is plenty of real life insanity going on at the Post Office , why make it even more unbelievable? Normally film makers go to a lot of effort to make their works seem believable. Here they went the opposite direction. I just can't find a way to describe this movie without resorting to language I haven't used since grade school, so I just won't bother.

This is probably one of the worst movies I've ever seen. This movie gives the US Postal Service a bad name and a bad image. Read more
