Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe British Flag in the Communications room is hanging upside down. This is an inside joke common among actual real-life South Pole installations. Since they are at the bottom of the world, if you were to look at the globe proper, the flag would appear to be right side up.
- GoofsThe pilot follows the two characters down the hole to the crashed plane. In a search and rescue operation, one person would stay above ground to make sure that everyone can get back for just such emergencies as the hole collapsing.
- Quotes
Man in Hall: Hey Marshal, don't you owe me a strip search?
Carrie Stetko: [about earlier streaking] You were the second guy out the door, right?
Man in Hall: Yeah.
Carrie Stetko: Not interested.

Featured review
As dull as being stuck in Antarctica
Based on a graphic novel, this tells of Carrie Stetko, a U.S. Marshal on assignment in Antarctica due to her own personal exile. Nearing the end of her tenure in the great white south, she gets sucked into a murder mystery when a body is found on the ice.
I have never read the graphic novel, and if it was as poorly done as this film, I never care to. Pitiful, repetitive dialogue (count the "Oh my God"s), generic music blaring over the scenes on an almost nonstop basis, stiff performances and a mystery that is far from mysterious. The resolution of said mystery leaves you thinking "That's it?" more than anything. The director repeatedly beats us over the head with things that would best be discovered later on, but since we know before the characters, it sucks out any possible suspense there might have been. You can also spot one of the villains based on an old TV show rule.
Whiteout fails to excite or intrigue. It's about as generic as they come. Skip it.
