movie review - Polar

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 2019.02.03

This is a grim flick about a semi-retired contract killer who's attempting to live out his life in the woods outside a small town. His past catches up with him, of course, and all hell breaks loose. This movie is particularly unpleasant and unnecessarily callous affair and I found it a bit much.

Not recommended.

The problem is not people being uneducated. The problem is that people are educated just enough to believe what they have been taught, and not educated enough to question anything from what they have been taught.
