20 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2019 - Ranked

19. Polar

The Highway Men
Netflix

Starring the ice-cool Mads Mikkelsen as a deadly killer, Polar should really have been better than it is, but even without maximizing its potential, it's still a solid ride.

Yes, it's a lot of style over substance, and yes, it has a pretty underwhelming story, but it's saved by an incredible lead performance - Mikkelsen always delivers, and this is no exception - and some highly entertaining shootout sequences, with a cabin-based sex scene turned fight for survival proving a silly, yet undeniably creative highlight.

The finale is also solid and packs a decent emotional punch, ensuring that the film will leave you with a positive final impression.
