A conventionally jam-packed, dutifully ludicrous action thriller.Read the full review
While the setting can be mesmerizing, little else about this movie is captivating.Read the full review
Briefly, not knowing who has the upper hand is exciting, but as the fight wears on, it becomes irritating.Read the full review
Studiously mediocre little thriller.Read the full review
No event occurs without a character telling us what we're seeing. This unwelcome commentary is so overdone that it becomes, by the end, an invitation for audience participation. All together now: It's a body! Looks like it's been shot in the head!Read the full review
Its stunning natural landscape notwithstanding, Antarctica-set thriller Whiteout, a frozen concoction of red herrings, incongruous plot points and thinly developed characters, will leave auds cold.Read the full review
Whiteout is a ham-handed murder mystery that starts out average and heads south from there, falling apart under the pressures of graceless camerawork, leaps of illogic, and TV-movie production values.Read the full review
Even a bad thriller can be entertaining, and this gory murder mystery set in Antarctica has a certain dumb fascination -- up to a point. Then it is defeated by its sheer idiocy.Read the full review
All panicky zooms and badly staged action.Read the full review
