Kate is just not good as a lead role. Yes she handled Underworld, but as far as a normal type movie, she cant do it. She needs to be a supporting actor, that's just who she is. :( sorry kate.
Movie was kinda lame. It had no real purpose. -

This movie was crap. Wow, is it crap. I mean, wow, does it suck.
Ok, for starters, not a single actor did any sort of decent job. Kate Beckinsale clearly did this movie for the paycheck, not b/c she cared about the story. Every character was very bland and typical. No rea...( read more) -

Critic Reviews
The severely nonthrilling thriller Whiteout moves like winter in Antarctica. Who the flake greenlit this blobby blur? full review
While the setting can be mesmerizing, little else about this movie is captivating. It's a standard-issue thriller, with a twist you see coming a continent away. full review
The film is all panicky zooms and badly staged action dotted with random forensic gross-outs. And, just for the fun of it, an amputation scene. full review
Has a perfunctory, by-the-numbers approach to its story and its characters. full review
What's missing from Whiteout is the pervasive sense of paranoia that you'd expect, or hope for, from a thriller set on the coldest and most isolated land mass on the planet. full review
It's a wonder Whiteout isn't in 3D, what with its initial onslaught of in-your-face flying propellers, crashing planes, and a lingering close-up of Kate Beckinsale stripping to her skivvies. full review
