Whiteout

Movie: Whiteout

I saw it on: September 17, 2009

Cast: Kate Beckinsale, Gabriel Macht, Columbus Short, Alex O'Loughlin, Shawn Doyle, Tom Skerritt

Genre: Mystery, Thriller

Synopsis: Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) is a U.S. Marshall just finishing up a 2-year tour in Antarctica.  Two days before she is scheduled to go home, a murder victim is found.  The murder turns out to be related to a Russian cargo plane the crashed in the Antarctic 50 years earlier.  As Carrie tries to solve the murder, more bodies start turning up.  All this leads to a pretty gripping finale.

My two cents: A decent murder-mystery in a really cold setting.  It was interesting to see how the ungodly cold complicates simple every day activities.  I enjoyed it.
