SYNOPSIS: For U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko, things are about to get even more dangerous. The only law enforcement in this unforgiving territory, she has just been sent to investigate a body on the ice. Antarctica's first homicide. A shocking discovery in itself, it will plunge her into an even more bizarre mystery and the revelation of secrets long-buried under the endless ice...secrets that someone believes are still worth killing for.  As Stetko races to find the killer before he finds her, winter is already closing in. In the deadly Antarctic whiteout, she won't see him till he's a breath away.

REVIEW: I went into Whiteout without really knowing what it was about. After all, the trailers for this movie didn't really quite say much about the plot. And since I don't like spoiling movies for others, you'll finish this review without knowing what it is about either. A sinister "Ha Ha Ha!" to you. But at least you'll know whether it may be a movie for you or not. For one, Kate Beckinsale is one of my favorites so that is definitely a plus for this film. I can't say she did a bad job, though I do think she could have done better. The dialogue at times was a bit too generic. You can be the judge of that and let me know what you think. As for the movie, it started out capturing my attention with its initial scene, enough to intrigue me for the first half hour or so. I recall saying to myself..."Hey, this is better than what I thought it would be". This feeling then began to dwindle down as time ticked away and the plot continued to unfold. It turned into what I would consider a perfect movie to watch on DVD when you have nothing else to do. Is it enjoyable? Somewhat. Would I see it again? Maybe in 10 years when I forget that I have already seen it. Well, that may be a bit exaggerated on my part as it was a fairly decent/average movie. It's just that I typically don't see many movies again unless I really really enjoyed it. And this is not one of them. I was entertained for a while but it felt like an old school plot with the addition of extremely hazardous conditions. Go watch Cliffhanger!

So if you have already seen the other movies out there, and need a movie to take a date to, then this movie may be okay for you. But don't expect it to be anything more than okay. Bowling or ice skating may be a better choice if you are trying to "break the ice". Just so you know...it does have a little suspense, several action sequences, a lot of snow, and it does have a slight "who done it" or "what is it" aspect. Did I mention it has Kate Beckinsale? For the guys who like her, you'll like the beginning of the movie. If you see it, let me know what you think.
