What's it about: This story has little going for it apart from an audience that may or may not be aware of the comic book series that inspired the film.
About a US Marshall Carrie Stetko (Kate), who's in a dead-end two-year job at a base in Antarctica, Whiteout begins at a time close to whenu00a0 Carrie is due to go the mainland as a six-month-long winter begins and the entire continent becomes inaccessible.

A dead body is found in the ice and Carrie being the only law enforcer finds herself caught up in a search for a killer. 
Now that should have been relatively easy, considering the population at the base (hence, a smaller number of possible suspects) but the film manages to stretch on at a deathly pace for around two hours as Carrie chases down suspects and ends up losing two fingers to frostbite when left out to die.
She returns to base and resumes investigation and comes across something startling.
What's hot: When you're in a location that rarely sees the sun and has frequent visitors in blizzards known as whiteouts, the only thing that can shine through are the performances or the landscape itself. The gratitious shower sequence is probably the hottest thing you're going to get from the film.
