Critic Reviews

  • Jake Coyle, Associated Press

    It's Kate Beckinsale on Ice.

  • Cliff Doerksen, Chicago Reader

    The film's slick and expensive looking but dumber than a dead penguin.

  • Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York

    Kate Beckinsale is about as convincing a U.S. Marshal as Joan Crawford is a loving mother.

  • A.O. Scott, At the Movies

    Where are the penguins?

  • Michael Phillips, At the Movies

    A stupid thriller.

    A reasonable suspense thriller based in Antarctica which is really the only little difference that it has to offer. The whole film is very predictable with the characters, twists and action sequences, the fact its based in snowy wastes being the only attraction. The landscape does add… More
