Whiteout
Whiteout has Manitoba subbing for the sub-continent of Antarctica where there are a litany of ways to die in the cold – and that’s just in the summer! That said, not many stay over the winter but a multiple murder mystery is threatening six months of darkness for a US Marshal named Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) along with her pal Dr. John Fury (Tom Skerritt) and Robert Pryce (Gabriel Macht) a UN cop who materializes suspiciously fast after the first corpse is chiselled from the ice. Carrie is the most traumatized by events since she volunteered to oversee this godforsaken post in hopes of coming to terms with a recent harrowing and deadly debacle in Miami and all of a sudden has to find a serial killer somehow connected to the cargo of a soviet transport plane that crashed near the South Pole in 1957. The action is long on clichés and short on stimulae as the remaining out posters, one of whom is quite possibly the killer, brace themselves for an impending perfect snowstorm that creates whiteout conditions where one can not see more than six inches in front of their face. Even with Beckinsale doing a hot shower striptease, whiteout conditions might have been preferable for watching this movie.
