The only U.S. Marshal assigned to Antarctica, Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) will soon leave the harsh environment behind for good; in three days, the sun will set and the Amundsen-Scott Research Station will shut down for the long winter. When a body is discovered out on the open ice, Carrie's investigation into the continent's first homicide plunges her deep into a mystery that may cost her her own life.

Critics Consensus

Kate Beckinsale is as lovely as ever, and does her best with the material, but moribund pacing and an uninspired plot leave Whiteout in the cold.

Kate Beckinsale is about as convincing a U.S. Marshal as Joan Crawford is a loving mother.

The film's slick and expensive looking but dumber than a dead penguin.

1/4

There’s nothing worse than a murder mystery whose twist you can see coming, and Whiteout gives away its secrets within the establishing scenes, making everything subsequent an incredible bore.

4/10

As Kate Beckinsale trades fangs and skintight leather for parkas, she also leaves the entertainment value out in the cold.

Meh. I watched it because I read the graphic novel. It's a shame. The original screenplay involved Reese Witherspoon playing a sassy marshal. Kind of like Fargo. But that got downgraded into this generic thriller.

Actually, for a free movie selection, this was not a bad choice. Yes, there are some plot holes but the setting, Kate Beckinsale and Tom Skeritt make it worth while.

One of those good thrillers yet taken from a graphic novel. Miller is the best.
