Polar Reviews
While the movie is overstylized, it's entertaining. Mads Mikkelsen is good as an aging assassin just looking for peace and quiet in retirement. When pushed, he shows that he hasn't lost his abilities in putting people down.
It’s a weird one. Not for the faint of heart but it’s not like you’re watching a documentary, is it? There’s good weird, there’s bad weird, there’s stupid weird and some of the weird is even quite human. That’s more than can be said of most films.
If you liked, The equalizer, John Wick and Jason Bourne , go ahead and watch it. It's an action thriller with a tough rogue protagonist. Definitely worths a watch.
It’s a cool and stylish movie. It makes me think of another cool movie, “Crank,(2006)”. It is not a transitional style movie, but it is interesting.
It's a cartoon in noir movie format, comparable to Sin City. Not too complicated, unashamedly over the top, but thoroughly entertaining. Mads Mikkelsen is surrounded by a strong cast.
Amazing movie, I didn’t see the movie was lacking anything to much, it’s a good idea and semi goodly execution, the actors in the movie carried it and is what made it watchable and good
Polar is certainly not the best movie of all time, but I don’t think it deserves this low of a score. I do agree with some people in that it feels like it prioritises blood and sex scenes most of the time, but putting that aside (which is HARD to do), it’s an amazing movie. The protagonists are all lovely and well-written characters, the plot is interesting, and the shots are pretty (+ deadmau5 absolutely delivered on the soundtrack!!). All in all, I think it’s a great movie to watch alone or with friends (unfortunately too gore/sex-oriented for family time)!!
Mads is the redeeming part of this movie. Overall terrible. But action packed. Very little not terribly interesting plot.
From the moment the stamped-style text came onto screen in the opening shot, I knew it wasn't going to be the movie I was expecting. Gave it another 30-40 mins until I gave up.
Fantastic film with fun twists. It kept me glued for the duration. I enjoyed the action and believe they should Come out with a sequel or prequel.
I was hoping for a follow up sequel.
Action packed from start to finish. Watched with a buddy of mine and we both thought movie was awesome! Plenty of violence, T&A, and a surprise twist at the end. Was a fun watch!
A bit too sexual for a bloody assassin movie and the characters are bland and forgettable, but it has all the senseless violence and blood that most people would watch this for in the first place.
Just a fun action movie to be honest. Cant complain its good to pass the time if your bored
Matt Lucas is disappointing. The violence is sad. Hard to tolerate poor acting and writing together
Forget critics reviews. This is a great satisfying assassin movie.
This movie tries so hard to be stylish and ends up being a grating mess instead
I mean, the movie ain't too good but mads mikklsten is hot
Very enjoyable! Lots of action.
