Had a low expectation going in basically POLAR is a film that clearly wants to adpot the early 2000's graphic novel style a la Sin CIty, 300 but misses a beat as it is clear the filmmaker lacks the chops to pull it off. So we end up with a stale version of this which seems to have all the same ingredients but feels undercooked. It's a shame I feel like if the pacing had been tweaked and maybe a less flamboyant lead villan chosen the film could've hit closer to its target. As it is Polar is a slow plod for a 90 min film (may have fallen asleep a little also).
