ChuckFlixs: PolarBy Chuck VanHoose January 29, 2019It’s time for another review of one of my most anticipated Netflix originals of 2019. The movie is Polar which was #8 on my list. Unfortunately it was another letdown so I’m 0-2 on my most anticipated. But that’s okay because Netflix produced some great movies last year. I know that I will enjoy some of my most anticipated movies.

Polar is an action movie about an assassin who wants to retire after years in the game. However he can’t have the peaceful retirement that he desires. This is because a group of younger assassins are trying to kill him, on his former boss orders.

I did not like this film at all. It was over the top violence with bad effects. But I’m going to try to start with some positives.

Positives
I’m having a hard time thinking of any positives for this movie. The only one I really have is that this film made me laugh some. But it was because of how stupid the scene or the kill was.

Negatives

I almost cut this movie off in the first two minutes of the film then almost did the same after 5 more minutes. However I stuck through the entire movie. The violence was over the top and almost cartoonish. The effects were absolutely horrible. It seems like they tried to make the main actor a very old John Wick.

The villain was one of the worst villains I have ever scene. He was cross between Mugatu from Zoolander and Ramsey Bolton. I say that because they had a torture scene with him on the movie. But he dresses and hand the mannerisms of Mugatu. However I found the Zoolander villain to be a better and more menacing villain than this movie. The villain is played by Matt Lucas.

A big surprising twist at the end could be seen for the beginning of the film. Not to mention the script of this movie could win worst script of 2019.

Rating: 2/10
