Polar

Polar (2018 January 25)

Netflix Distributed Movie
Availability: Global

Plot:
The story centers on the world's top murderer, Duncan Vizla (Mads Mikkelsen), aka The Black Kaiser, who is settling into retirement when he's employed against his will. He finds himself back in the game going head to head with an army of younger, faster, ruthless killers who will stop at nothing to have him silenced.

Review:
Rating: Watch it / It depends / [Skip it]
  • This is crude, violent, and over the top. The story is less than original, but this attempts to establish itself as unique with a style that's outrageous. It feels a bit like a comic book and while Mikkelsen does a good job, the whole is less than the parts with an uneven tone. This has an interesting idea that painted in bright neon colors, an idea that's soon forgotten as the movie assumes you'd rather watch mindless violence.
