15 Worst Movie Performances Of 2019
1. Matt Lucas - Polar
There was a lot of excitement surrounding Polar before its release on Netflix in 2019. The adaptation of the comic of the same name promised a sort of John Wick action thriller with Mads Mikkelsen at the helm, what could possibly go wrong? As it turns out, other than Mikkelsen himself, everything.
Opposite the quiet, solemn, Duncan was Matt Lucas' brash, over the top, eccentric Blut. The character was portrayed as a cartoonish kind of evil, moustache twirling millionaire, only completely devoid of any sense of charisma or charm. It doesn't help Lucas that in the same movie Mads Mikkelsen put in a great performance, highlighting just how out of his depth the Little Britain star was.
An odd choice to play the villain in such a film, it's easy to assume Lucas' character was supposed to provide a bit of comic relief, but absolutely nothing landed. It was just laughably bad.
