Hugely enjoyable thriller with a unique setting. There's a slasher flick in here alongside a murder mystery, a thriller and an action crime drama. I didn't expect it to be the film of all films so I was very pleasantly surprised with it, given the amount of harsh criticism this thing has taken. Kate Beckinsale is easy to watch, it has an interesting story which is competently staged, so what if it's familiar ground, it's done well. I'm glad I bought the DVD.

I was a bit dubious about getting this dvd becasue it got a good slating by a lot of people and critics. However, anything with Kate Beckinsale in it has to be worth a look and this is without doubt.
Basically mysterious goings on start to occur on a remote Antartic Outpost where she is the sheriff and she has to investigate strange deaths before an enormous storm hits the region.
This is a very atmospheric film thats certainly worth watching and wasnt worthy of all the abuse it got. If you like thrillers and murder mysteries, I'm certain you will enjoy this film.

'Whiteout' is a slasher/murder mystery thriller that was panned by critics and was a box-office failure.
The movie is based in Antarctica and follows a U.S. Deputy Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) who after discovering murder incidents, attempts to hunt down the killer.
I rented the DVD because the cast is good, the director (Dominic Sena) previously made 'Gone in Sixty Seconds', which I like and also because I love my murder mysteries.
The movie starts with a bang (action scene), setting the mood and then works on the mystery. The movie continues to unfold in a formulatic manner without becoming boring and finally ends with a twist.
The two main things that struck me was the beautiful scenery of Antarctica and the climax, which I personally did not predict. For me, the movie worked because it kept me somewhat interested and gave me what I expect from a mystery thriller, an unpredictable climax.
The flaws are the movie offers nothing new when it comes to plot, there are no jump-out-of-your-seat moments and the acting from the cast including Kate Beckinsale is below-par.
The direction provided by Dominic Sena is quite good as he managed to keep me watching the movie.
'Whiteout' is one of those movies that you should not expect much from and in return will be rewarded.

Could be better.
I think Whiteout starts off very well for the first 30 or so minutes, after that I felt the problem was the plot was a bit rushed through. Read more

Yep - definitely a Washout
The CGI in Whiteout looks a bit flat and false, and sadly this also reflects the tone of the movie. I like Kate Beckinsale, but she is neither convincing nor emotionally involving... Read more

Not terrible or laughably bad, just ordinary and somewhat mediocre
Starting with a mid-air shootout on a Russian cargo plane and a spectacular crash in the Antarctic wastes, Whiteout gets off to a good start and throws in a decent hook with the... Read more
