Review of Polar (2019) by Paper_Kay — 04 Feb 2019
While people wait for John Wick 3 ballet scenes and horses, (though, oddly enough, Mads Mikkelsen is a lot better actor than K. Reeves), if you want to watch witless carnage and stylish torture, this is the exact kind of a movie for you.
Nobody goes to see this, expecting it to be a Skandi drama thriller. This is humor on the level of prostate exams, tragedy on the level of weeping with only one eye left and romance .. well, there IS that one scene, ten or fifteen minutes long, in which our boy rocks it like a velociraptor on cocaine (whoever filmed that scene clearly likes porn as much as me.
) So, critics, calm down. It's not Heat. It's not supposed to be deep and original. You're not supposed to wonder how a naked man runs around in snow like it's nothing. It's supposed to have hot women blown to bits by Browning guns and ugly bad guys.
One half-deaf half-blind old man versus an eager young army. And all of the above is exactly what you get.
