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.

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. Go to Full Review

thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 18 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Farah R @Farah May 30 I understand where the negative ratings and reviews are coming from, but I had a blast watching Whiteout with my sister. We loved the desolate setting, murder mystery, and all the unrealistic aspects of the story. It was fun, making it good, if only in my memory. See more Liam D @Mediawatcher2003 May 24 Kate Beckinsale gives the film some sense of life to the film but the rest of the film was an boring mystery that is cold as the setting See more Larry L Jan 14 I watched this in 2009 and remembered I liked so I'm giving what it deserves a decent review. See more Carlos T Jan 13 Filme: Terror na Antártida Assistido: 11-01-25 Elenco: @katebeckinsale @iamgabrielmacht @therealtomskerritt @officialcshort @alexoloughlin Modelo: #suspense #policial Duração: 1h 41m Ano: 2009 Minha opinião: Um filme de suspense no polo Sul, Antártida. Com Carrie (Kate), uma atriz conhecida pelos filmes; Anjos da Noite, Van Helsing, Click,Pearl Harbor. Aqui ela faz o papel de uma delegada, mas na Antártida, em uma base. E quem iria acreditar em um homicídio ou vários homicídio na Antártida. Pois é isso depois que alguns pesquisadores encontrarem um avião russo que havia caído a mais de décadas atrás. E lá encontraram diamantes. E por isso ocorrem mortes, pela ganância. E com isso mais mortes ocorrem. Até perderam o ultimo avião antes do inverno, e para o retorno levará 6 meses de espera. E com cenas de suspense para descobrir quem é o verdadeiro assassino. Com cenas no meio da tempestade, dando um ar maior de suspense e boa atuações dos atores, ressalva para Kate pela boa atuação. Um filme que nos segura pelo seu suspense. Roteiro e enredo bons, e a ideia de fazer na Antártida foi criativa. Vale apena assistir? Sim recomendo. Nota: 8 See more John M 11/06/2024 I disagree with the general consensus. I found the movie entertaining and the threat and danger of the severe Antarctic environment the storyline was placed in convincing enough. Kate Beckingsale and Tom Skerritt were solid in their respective roles and the I had no issue with the pacing or plot. Underrated ! ✨ See more Read all reviews
