Polar Ratings & Reviews

Well I guess I’m extremely in the minority’s here. I thought this was a blast. The action was well shot, the lighting was cool, and I dug the comic book style editing. I thought the Mads Mikkelsen gave a great performance as well. It was just really weird with how grounded of a character he was and how every single foe was just balls to the walls crazy. I enjoyed this and would love to see the sequel they set up.

Peter Sobczynski
A gross, stupid and relentlessly ugly film from start to finish.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
A gleefully unhinged teenage-boy dream that aims only for hard, shiny surfaces, and stays there.
Lyles' Movie Files
Jeffrey Lyles
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.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
The film's horniness and amorality, a slap in the face of fanatically cautious contemporary mores, might've been more shocking if it weren't placed so firmly in quotation marks.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
Grody to the max.
Pajiba
Roxana Hadadi
Polar is an astonishingly flaccid film, a movie that prioritizes blood splatter and bouncing butts over literally all else, including plot and character development.
New York Times
Chris Vognar
If it has any redeeming qualities, it chooses to keep them a secret.
The Hollywood Reporter
Keith Uhlich
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.
Polygon
Karen Han
There is a line of reasoning that dictates that any movie featuring Mads Mikkelsen with laser-gun-cannons attached to his hands should be at least a little fun. Netflix's Polar, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, somehow defies the odds.
Variety
Courtney Howard
This abhorrent actioner is vulgar auteurism at its most depraved.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
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.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Emily Yoshida
Polar is an execrable motion picture, a sad, lint-filled key bump scraped together from the bottom of the post-Tarantino '90s exploitation baggie.
Escapist Magazine
Noah Berlatsky
Polar doesn't fully understand what a great idea it's stumbled into... it gets distracted by pointless Guy Ritchie-esque stylistic flourishes, a predictably tragic/heartwarming twist ending.
Cultured Vultures
Jay Krieger
As just about every element of the film ranges from underwhelming to bad, I would be hard-pressed to recommend Polar to anyone other than hardcore fans of Mads Mikkelsen, and even then, there are countless better action films.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
When a film predicated on its slick surfaces to the degree that Polar is looks ugly, it really and truly has lost everything.
Consequence
Clint Worthington
Every second grates and confuses in equal measure, with nary a thrill of inventive, exciting action filmmaking to break up the monotony.
KPBS.org
Beth Accomando
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.
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
If the sight of a smiling, one-eyed Mikkelsen dispatching those who cross him by any means available doesn't get your motor running then nothing else here stands a chance.
Film Inquiry
Tom Bedford
Polar could probably have successfully built on its clichéd plot if the execution was great, but too few of the scenes hit the level of imagination or wit needed.
