An action thriller starring Mads Mikkelsen as the world's most dangerous assassin should be terrifically entertaining, but Polar proves it's possible to ruin anything if you try.

A gleefully unhinged teenage-boy dream that aims only for hard, shiny surfaces, and stays there. Jan 30, 2019 | Rating: C- | Full Review…

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. Jan 28, 2019 | Full Review…

'Polar' isn't a total disaster thanks to Mikkelsen, but even he can't turn this film into something watchable. [Full Review in Spanish] Feb 28, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

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. Feb 23, 2019 | Rating: 2/10 | Full Review…

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. Feb 15, 2019 | Full Review…
