Review of Polar (2019) by Mathias01 — 27 Jan 2019
After seeing Mads Mikkelsen (who was fantastic in Hannibal) and Katheryn Winnick (who is also fantastic as Lagertha in Vikings) in the trailer I wanted to watch this. After watching it I'm left with a "meh" opinion.
Mads was alright as Duncan but I thought Katheryn's Vivian was totally wasted. She was just there and didn't really do much. The villain Blut was more of a clown than a menace. And Vanessa's Camille was simply the product of bad writing.
And lastly I found the banter between the group of younger assassins irritating at times. I guess the movie makers decided to throw in gratuitous violence to cover up poor writing. This movie had some potential.
Sadly it was wasted.
