Whiteout (2009)

Submitted by Karina on Thu, 09/10/2009 - 19:05

Whiteout Written by: Jon Hoeber, Erich Hoeber, Chad Hayes, Carey Hayes, and Greg Rucka (graphic novel)
Directed by: Dominic Sena
Featuring: Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Tom Skerritt, Columbus Short, Alex O'Loughlin
Review by: Karina Wilson

Whiteout the movie manages to obliterate all that was haunting and sinister about Whiteout the graphic novel, burying the narrative under a drift of bland performances, shortcut storytelling and cheap special effects. The original, edgy concept of 'Antarctica's first homicide' melts under Dominic Sena's over-obvious arclights, leaving nothing but a messy, somewhat tepid puddle. The Thing this ain't. Marketed as a fight for survival with supernatural elements ("You can see your last breath"), it turns out to be a disappointingly cozy detective story, a Miss Marple On Ice.
