Every 2019 Comic Book Movie Ranked Worst To Best

16. Polar

Directed by Jonas Akerlund, and starring Mads Mikkelsen, the movie adaptation of the Dark Horse comic series, Polar, hit Netflix in 2019 to mostly negative reviews. Mikkelsen's Duncan, an ageing hitman finds himself on the wrong side of a contract to avoid a hefty retirement payout.

The movie seems confused as to what it wants to be, as the quiet, noir moments with Duncan are completely at odds with Matt Lucas' horrendously eccentric, tough to watch villain, Blut, and the rest of the off the wall cast of characters.

Unsurprisingly, Mikkelsen is the best part of the movie, let down by just about everything else. The tone, the supporting cast, and the poor attempts at humour all failed to lift Polar higher than an embarrassing 20% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
