Polar benefits from Mikkelsen in the lead. He is just riveting and when he finally gears up for revenge the film steps into high gear and delivers grueling action and a surprise punch at the end.February 06, 2019
Two-dimensional characters, questionable casting choices and a lacklustre script means that the two-hour runtime slogged from start to finish rather than feeling like an adrenaline-induced, blood-filled dream that it could have been.February 07, 2019
Polar is an astonishingly flaccid film, a movie that prioritizes blood splatter and bouncing butts over literally all else, including plot and character development.February 28, 2019
'Polar' isn't a total disaster thanks to Mikkelsen, but even he can't turn this film into something watchable. [Full Review in Spanish]February 13, 2019
Tale about retired killer is filled with sex, drugs, cursingJanuary 25, 2019
A gross, stupid and relentlessly ugly film from start to finish.February 23, 2019
Åkerlund actually shows each day's torture to really drive home the point. Too often Polar feels like being tied up and suffering through an immense cinematic experience.January 31, 2019
If it has any redeeming qualities, it chooses to keep them a secret.January 24, 2019
This abhorrent actioner is vulgar auteurism at its most depraved.January 24, 2019
Too bad the only thrill you get from all the bloodletting is that you know each cartoony death brings you that much closer to the end credits.January 28, 2019
Polar is pure trash, but the generousness - and, in the final stretch, the poignancy - with which Mikkelsen approaches even the most lurid of the film's conceits at least pushes it toward the top of the garbage heap.January 30, 2019
A gleefully unhinged teenage-boy dream that aims only for hard, shiny surfaces, and stays there.
