Polar - Netflix, Mads Mikkelsen, Vanessa Hudgens, Katheryn Winnick, Jan 25 (Hitman, Graphic Novel)

[atomheartbevo 89672]

Like the cast   Never read the comic book   Maybe one of Netflix’s better originals as of late   

 

[rage-a-holic 4399]

I would watch Mads and Katheryn Winnick in pretty much anything, including a documentary about aggy football dominance in the SEC and B12.

maybe a comedy/drama, but not a documentary.  that would be impossible. 

[Radical Larry 28621]

Mads and Winnick? Count me in. 

[utxmike05 1828]

Nice. Mads is the shit.

John Wick's dad or what?

[BNB 100]

looks cool.  Is it a movie or tv show?

[Buzzrock 14920]

Mads Mikkelsen assassin. I didn’t even need to watch the trailer. Totally in.

[atomheartbevo 89672]

So who’s watching first to give us a report.  

[Celery Man 20950]

I’m planning on watching tonight.  It looks awesome.

[Bama Chick 28596]

Fantastic movie.

I know nothing of the source material, so I went in with no expectations.

I love me some Mads and he was great.

It’s fairly gory but in a comic booky way.

It’s also really funny in a dark way.

Hopefully there’s a sequel.

[Funk Doctor Spock 12206]

Really, really loved this movie. Something about it was a little corny, but otherwise it was fantastic. Mads makes a good hitman. Plus that Stacie chick. Wow. 

[Mach 1 1677]

I was looking forward to this but turned it off after 30 minutes.  Maybe I just don't get the source material, fine to each his/her own.

It seemed like a poor mash up of Kill Bill (great) and Smoken Aces (sucked), but it couldn't decide what the hell it wanted to be.  So it went from brooding tension to ridiculous cartoon character villains from one second to the next.

Maybe it got better as it went along but fuck it, with Netflix it's always hit or miss so I checked out.

Sin City bad exampl

[Neonmoon 38129]

I liked it. I mean, Mads killing people. It is pretty gory though.

I'd say it was trying for the John Wick edge, but ended up a cornier version of Smokin Aces, so yeah, good call on that one. 

[atomheartbevo 89672]

Never read the graphic novels, but I’m guessing the villains were lifted straight from them.

How did he know to duck when he was fucking the hottie and the sniper had him in his sights?

Fun watch on the heels of punisher. 

Sindy and dem titties. 

 

I know nothing of dark horse material, but was aware of the name. I wonder if they have other stuff to be adapted.

  How did he know to duck when he was fucking the hottie and the sniper had him in his sights?

I thought he had her pegged when he saw her unzip her jacket to show off her boobs when he was watching her in his side mirror as she walked up to his car to ask for help.

She pulled the exact same move - blow job time and BLAM - in the opening scene with the assassin in Chile.

Since they all worked for Damocles, I just figured he had heard about how the “A Team” as Blut called them operated.

OpSec didn’t appear to be real important.

[demos 3003]

Mind numbing gratuitous sex and violence. Gave it a thumbs up.

[CurlyDumps 4471]

This movie is fucking terrible. It’s a worse imitation of other shitty movies.

Edited January 28, 2019 by CurlyDumps

[CurlyDumps 4471]

Okay, just got to the scene in the karaoke bar.  My opinion just did a total 180.  This movie is actually kind of great.

[Fud 9552]

This movie was fucking terrible. It wants to be a cross between John Wick and Kill Bill, but ends up being about as good as Freddy Got Fingered 

[Gene Parmesan 4007]

I thought it was okay.  Just okay.  Good for something late night.  It's a poor man's Smokin' Aces/John Wick.  It you think those movies are the tits you'll at least be entertained.

[Loose Stool 112]

Watched it last night.  It had potential but ended up being just OK.  Decent enough movie, had some good fight scenes and showed some T&A.

[ajax 2617]

You guys are tough on movies. 

I actually thought the opening scene had a Kingsman vibe, specially the second Kingsman.

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

How does it compare to say, Shoot 'Em Up with Clive Owen?  Know nothing about this, but from above, that is the oeuvre I'm feeling.  If so, seems like fun.

Eh, it wasn't great, but it wasn't bad imo.

Worth watching.

If there was a surly version of a Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic, our summaries would read:

”This movie was one the shittiest movies ever made, but it was also one of the best movies ever to pass over my mortal eyeballs.  The acting was spectacular and Oscar-worry, while also making one think of some shitty community theater project.  The director must have been a clone of Hitchcock or Kubrick with the stunning visuals, choreography, and dialogue, but he or she also appears to have taken a bowling ball to the head during film-making.  Repeatedly.  I fucking hate this movie, but I would give up my firstborn to watch it again, if that’s what it takes.”

What are thoughtless titties?

Hold on just a minute, what are thoughtful titties?!!

[Buzzrock 14920]

How can you not love a movie that starts with Johnny Knoxville being brutally murdered?

[deadshank 24653]

Meh.  Had a few moments but wasn't really that good.  

[A-Tex Devil 2446]

Just saw it. Shoot ‘Em Up is definitely the movie that comes to mind. 

[52-80 19159]

the ass and titties werent from katheryn winnick so meh

[EvilCaseMcCoy 691]

This movie sucked

That movie does not get the street cred it deserves.

halfway through the movie I thought "This movie is so bad even Katheryn Winnick licking a strippers ass can't save it"

Then our hero took that chick with the great rack to pound town and it got better. 

[HookEm 2467]

It was terrible... but so close to being great.  The main villain made it unwatchable.  Replace him with someone like Christopher Waltz and suddenly the move is amazing.

[huge 3793]

19 on Metacritic but I’ll watch

[irockalltherocks 55]

I really liked the vibe for the 1st half of the movie. Had a decent pulp type feel to it. I thought it went downhill after he went to the mansion, minus the fight scenes. Also felt the reveal at the end was rushed. Final scene seemed like a set up for a sequel.

[bernorange 8362]

The whole movie can be summed up with one word:  gratuitous

acting?  ran the gamut from good to meh to cringy

plot?  haha.  only one real potential surprise, but not really

emotionally / intellectually engaging?  fuck no

entertaining?  yeah, I was entertained

[Chewbacca 7779]

Any Winnick tittays?

Siskel? Ebert? Just frauds compared to atomheartbevo 

[utxmike05 1828]

Wish he had actually been confronted by each of those assasins individually and fought them, rather than take them all out with guns in one scene. Although it was pretty bad ass naked in the cold. 

[kingkoopa6 8350]

I dug it. Would watch Sindy and them tits again. 

Duncan is a bad ass. 

 

Lol at the guards giving up and sayin “ fuck this I’m out”

 

 

those gloves with the finger lasers was dope as fuck too
