I thought maybe it was being ignored based on genre until your Walk the Line pick.

Oh, the sadness of it all...

Doom Patrol looks incredibly dumb, but I will give it a chance. I wasn't blown away by Umbrella at first, but by the 7th episode I felt it really gained some serious credibility. The final, 10th episode pulls the entire series up and over the hump for me. I would not want 2 seasons because these kids are just too emotionally screwed up to do much more

This story had several inconsistencies throughout the film. First, anyone who saw the beast would commit suicide, next others would live but force others to look at the beast. Very poorly done.

Sandra's acting was not at her usual level. I believe she tried hard it just wasn't there for here.

Overall it was a very disappointing film.

I mean, it's got a higher rating than the Doors, 24 Hour Party People, Control, and Ray, and ties with Walk the Line.

Then there's Amadeus, which blows them all out of the water with an 8.3. C'mon guys. You have two movies about the same band.

Mads Mikkelsen stars in this original film from Netflix, and he usually does high quality films (Casino Royale, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Valhalla Rising to name a few). But you'll wish you could have the time back spent watching Polar. The opening scene, which stars Johnny Knoxville, is completely devoid of any intrigue, character building (with the exception of overlaid graphics telling you who each character is), and plot. The production quality too, even though presented in 4k/HDR, is fairly low. It seems like a B-grade movie that only aspired to be a B-grade movie. If you like Mads, don't waste your time on Polar go see Arctic.
