"Here’s another one I really like. I really like the relationship and the acting in a movie called The Dresser with Tom Courtenay and Albert Finney. Albert Finney is an aging Shakespearean actor who’s falling to pieces in his mind, and Tom Courtenay’s whole career depends on dressing this guy and he’s the only one who can get him through the show. You see all the people who depend on this guy to be able to do it, you know, in order for them to have their lives, and how important the theater is to them. I’ve always really been into the theater, even before I was an actor. And I love Tom Courtenay."

Heartwarming... but kind of pointless
Of course always love seeing screen legends together again; however, they really didn't have much to do in this film.

When an aging woman decides to spice up her life by asking her neighborhood infamous fellow senior to come spend the night at her house, they become the talk of the small town. Both reveal intimate details of their lives to each other as their friendship grows. Soon, her grandson comes to live with her and the three of them enjoy each other's company.

I was never bored while watching this film, but afterwards I kind of felt it was missing a point. If you enjoy slice of life films you will love this one.

A good action adult film

This is definitely not for the faint of heart. This is a brutal but fantastic film. You just can’t turn away.

If you're not a fan of gratuitous, over-the-top violence, lengthy sex scenes, and gory detail, stay away from this movie.

If such things don't bother you, or you see such things as essential in a good action movie, Polar is the film for you! Evocative of Tarantino, Charlie's Angel's, and any number of violent, Hitman-style films, Polar earns its place among the classics, with gusto.

An aging hitman on the verge of retirement, our protagonist finds himself hunted by his former employers, they get more than they bargain for.

Surprisingly, Nick Nolte. (0 more)
This wasn't bad at all, in my opinion. More of the same as the first two films - that is to say, a big action movie with lots going on. Was the plot semi-ridiculous? Sure, although the plot point that had Gerard Butler's aging Mike Banning popping pills and receiving ominous warnings from his doctor about his physical condition seemed very apropos (art imitating life, perhaps?). I pretty much got exactly what I expected to get from this movie: a decent action movie for a Friday night date-night-on-the-couch.

The hidden jewel of this film for me was Nick Nolte as Banning's estranged father - believable and relatable, and he had some truly great lines.
