Review of Polar (2019) by Cajun67 — 27 Jan 2019
Just a warning, this is a very dark and violent film, but if you're into this sort of action drama, it's very good. Mads Mikkelsen is excellent in this role, and it's worth watching for him, alone.
The first act is too cartoonish, as all of the main characters are introduced with their own title sequence. Honestly, no one cares about that. Most of those names are of no importance to the storyline. The only name you need to know is the main character (Duncan).
But this movie gets progressively better, and finishes with a strong third act.
The critics are really trashing this film, but honestly, I don't see it as all that different from similar films made from ultra-violent graphic novels. Again, this is a genre that either appeals to you or it doesn't.
