The Postman

CriticsCritics: 22
AudienceAudience: 6.0

In a fractured, post-apocalyptic America, a wandering performer survives by entertaining isolated communities. After finding a postal uniform and mailbag, he adopts a new identity and begins traveling between settlements, unintentionally inspiring hope and resistance against a brutal authoritarian force.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like earnest post-apocalyptic adventures such as Steel Dawn, especially stories about rebuilding society and hope; Not for you if you prefer concise, subtle, or consistently serious dramas.
