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.

A gleefully unhinged teenage-boy dream that aims only for hard, shiny surfaces, and stays there.

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.

Tale about retired killer is filled with sex, drugs, cursing

'Polar' isn't a total disaster thanks to Mikkelsen, but even he can't turn this film into something watchable. [Full Review in Spanish]

If it has any redeeming qualities, it chooses to keep them a secret.

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.

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.

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.

This abhorrent actioner is vulgar auteurism at its most depraved.

Polar is an astonishingly flaccid film, a movie that prioritizes blood splatter and bouncing butts over literally all else, including plot and character development.

A gross, stupid and relentlessly ugly film from start to finish.
