Baby, it's cold outside: that's the problem for U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale), the only law-enforcement officer assigned to Antarctica. On the verge of shipping out before the really bad weather hits, Carrie is confronted with a mysterious murder that sounds like a riddle: how'd a lone corpse find its way to the middle of an ice field, as though dropped from a great height? And what's this have to do with the prologue about a Soviet fighter jet crashing some decades earlier? Whiteout, based on the graphic novel by Greg Rucka, solves these questions in a brisk if mostly preposterous manner, and it moves swiftly enough so you don't have to spend too much time on the plausibility of it all. Among the other snowbound stragglers are a U.N. investigator (Gabriel Macht, of The Spirit), some cocky pilots (Alex O'Laughlin, Columbus Short), and a grizzled doctor (Tom Skerritt). If the presence of Skerritt conjures up memories of Alien, with its ten-little-Indians structure and female warrior, hold on--Whiteout doesn't actually have a supernatural twist to it, and Beckinsale is no Sigourney Weaver. But director Dominic Sena (undistinguished by his cheesy film Swordfish) puts the screws to the material in a relentless way, and the vast exteriors (shot in Canada) are impressive. And when it comes to one particular wow-you're-really-going-there instance of potential amputation for a main character, the film doesn't back down. In fact it sort of revels in the moment. --Robert Horton

I like the actress she played a good part. The movie reminded me in terms of setting of the movie the thing I believe it was with Kirt Russell. Not as scary but still keeps you on the edge of your seat.

THE OUTCOME WAS NOT TO EASY TO PREDICT AS IS SOME MYSTERIES. MANY OF THE SUSPECTS WERE ELIMINATED EARLY.

Overall, this is a good movie...but the ending is a little week. What is nice is the action and suspense is set in antartica. So the back drop is very enjoyable. Its worth seeing

This movie has great twists and turns, and a great plot. You don't know who it is until the end. Highly recommend.

Not much here to see except Kate Beckinsale.
I just won't pan a movie if she's in it, or it would get 1 star.
