Sawaki is a postman who's not quite thrilled about his boring way of life. But his life is about to change when he delivers mail to his old schoolmate Noguchi, who's now a member of the Yakuza, the Japanese Mafia, and just finished cutting his little finger off. Sawaki stays only for a short time and Noguchi manages to smuggle a package full of drugs into Sawakis bag. And, like that's not enough, accidentally his separated finger falls into Sawakis bag too. Because Noguchi has been spied out for quite a while by the police, they think that Sawaki has something to do with his criminal schemings and decide to stick onto his feet. When Sawaki bonds with the fatally ill hit man Joe, it's clear for the police what he must be: A schizophrenic-paranoid, perverse drug dealer, murderer and even terrorist sent from the Yakuza!

| User ReviewSanjiv VUnbelievably good... Poetic finish. A must see! |
| User ReviewShane MOne of the best movies I have ever seen, a balled my eye out at the ending of this movie. |
| User ReviewBryan JProbably my favorite of the Sabu movies. All of Sabu's trademarks are here: the same faces, constant movement and chase scenes, interweaving story lines. Give it a chance. |
| User ReviewJuuso SThis movie is awesome, it has everything. A love story, comedy, action, and a sad drama twist.. |
| User ReviewDavid AProbably the funniest film I have ever seen in my life. |
| User ReviewPrivate UHappiness, sweetness, sadness and some action too in one package without being corny. |
| User ReviewAaron LWhen I first saw this quirky treat on Sundance Channel's, Window On Japan, month-long special, I didn't know what to expect. The promo promised that it's going to be totally unconventional, and unconventional it is! With its tongue-in-cheek, homages/parodies of pop cultural references (i.e. Leon: The Professional, Chungking Express, miscellaneous action film cliches), Hiroyuki Tanaka, a.k.a. Sabu, did an excellent job of making this shoot'em up comedy a bittersweet delight! It's also interesting to note that Postman Blues was directed by the same film maker that made a lengthy, character acting career, playing corrupt cops (Shinjuku Triad Society) and a doting dad/hitman (Ichi The Killer), so I guess it's very refreshing to showcase a directorial debut (?) from someone who's routinely typecast! (Though, I think Susumu Terajima's character could be more fleshed out beyond a convenient member of the body count: I hope Sabu have a role in mind... wait a minute, I think it's called The Blessing Bell! =-P) *hint: check out the surprise, schmaltzy happy ending! |
| User ReviewJoonatan KSABU is amazing. tour de force rock director. or something. i file this with beat takeshi though without the violence element. i saw this at a film festival in 1998, and though i haven't seen it since, i have never forgotten it. must. see. again... |
| User ReviewVaibhav WSabu's most famous film is about how a oridnary postman's life turns topsy turvy when he is mistaken as a Yakuza. Nice editing, a bit Miike-ish though! |
| User ReviewvisitorQ SStrange and funny. A typical Sabu movie. good 3/5 |
