Best movie ever!

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Kate is a bad actor, cute chick although. When the main female character starts the film with a shower scene, ok the expectations for the movie goes down. Also the directory was so bad (see the trivia), the scenes in the snow storm were so blurring.

Not a grandiose film in the genre but holds the suspense through the film. Definitely NOT one of Kate Beckinsale's( Underworld) more enduring performances but it made for the timidness of her character. Taking place in the frozen tundra of Antarctica the film freezes it's audience with a mild temperature in the plot. A murder, a killer on the loose, a cover up, it was suspense filled but dry in it's routine delivery. It certainly is an afternoon filler for boredom. BUT I gave it a 7 for it's cinematography and Tom Skerritt's performance, AND because I am a Kate Beckinsale fan.

You know the feeling when you or your kid drops their ice cream on the ground and it goes Ker-Plop? That describes my reaction to this film... Kate is on auto-pilot here and is not believable as a US Marshal assigned to these frigid climes...particularly when being pursued in wintry wasteland all covered with snow. Too much reliance on CSI-type scenes where we are face first thrust into medical examination procedures. Tom Skerritt was well cast as Doc and fits right into the lost outpost scenes - the same scenario he was in way back when with the first Alien film (1979) and even the M.A.S.H. movie (1970) that preceded the TV series. Speaking of M.A.S.H. I can't remember another example where the public address announcer is assigned with such a key role as is demonstrated in Whiteout. You can't help but notice this voice-over technique employed to build tension. Eventually it became humorous which was not the desired impact. But watch it for the effortless and believable Tom Skerritt.

This is a very nice little murder mystery that just so happens to be set in Antarctica. The idea of murder down there with all that cold makes it a little tricky for our villains, but they show that it can be done. It stars Kate Beckinsale and Tom Skerritt, so what's not to like. Sorry out there. The supporting cast is great. To me what having a good movie experience is the fact that actors have to believe in the story line, and if that doesn't happen-in my opinion- you have a bad movie i.e, Oblivion. The only problem I have with the movie it is where did the diamonds come from? I don't understand the haters. It is just a movie.
