Out of this year’s batch of January Netflix Originals none have intrigued me as much as “Polar”. There are several reasons for it, none bigger than the film’s star Mads Mikkelsen. This super stylized action flick is an adaptation of a graphic novel series focused on an international hitman. Who better to play an international hitman than Mads.
The trailer dropped a few days ago and the movie is set to land on Netflix tomorrow (January 25th). Check out the trailer below and tell me what you think in the comments section. Will you be giving “Polar” a look?
Metacritic scores are out and boy are they SAVAGE! I want to watch this for Mads but man, this sounds like a new low for Netflix, based on several reviews thus far. Yikes..
I watched the opening scene before heading to work and I loved the bright hyper-stylized visuals but the scene as a whole was absolutely cringe-worthy. Gutter humor than lands with a thud. REALLY hopeful it gets better from there.
Ohhh boy. Well, hopefully you get something out of it. Time is precious — lets hope this one doesn’t waste it completely. 😀
I know right. I love Mads and the visuals look to be super cool. But dude I can’t handled a movie’s length of Johnny Knoxville trash-comedy
You watch the whole movie yet?
Not yet. Probably finish it tomorrow. Showed my wife and kids “First Man” instead. 👍
