I don’t remember hearing anything about Whiteout starring Kate Beckinsale and Tom Skerritt. The movie is directed by Dominic Sena. As an aside, I would love to know how Sena filmed this movie to make the South Pole looked so authentic.
It’s good to see Beckinsale in an action role where she plays a US Marshal Carrie Stetko. After two years stationed at Antarctica’s South Pole research base, she is as anxious as anyone to be going home. She’s turned in her resignation and is counting the hours and minutes to the last plane out. But three days before departure, a body turns up on the ice and Carrie is immediately thrust into Antarctica’s first murder investigation. As the death toll mounts, the mystery deepens with shifting loyalties, deadly whiteouts, and a relentless killer who will stop at nothing to protect a secret buried for over sixty years. Now with everyone around her packing up and getting out, Carrie must solve the crime before Antarctica is plunged into six months of darkness and she is stranded with the killer on a land where nothing comes in and no one gets out.
