"Everything about
Whiteout
feels so routine, and as decent as the actors are, their performances lose some spark because of it."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
A. J. Hakari
"Needed: Generic thriller in an exotic setting, some gore, possible sci-fi elements, female lead, and an older male star to play grizzled supporting character. Must work cheap."

Adam Lippe
1.5/5
"Dull and draining, Whiteout should have been offered under one of these preferable alternate titles -- Washout, or even better, Wornout."

"A dreadful sleeping pill, marching into production with the best intentions in the world, but coming out the other side a jumbled, incompetent, ludicrously underlined whodunit."

"Is best when dealing with the splendors of the natural landscape."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
1.5/4
"When serious moments are accompanied again and again by collective widespread laughter from an otherwise well-behaved audience, it is a tell-tale sign that something has gone very wrong in translation from page to screen."

"The film's been sitting on the shelf for 2 1/2 years; maybe it went bad?"

"An Antarctic-set murder mystery that might have played well on the printed page but emerges as a slushy mess on the screen."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/5
"Depicts how a woman U.S. marshal at a frigid station in Antarctica is tested on many levels by a murder case."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
"Though global warming gets namechecked only once in
Whiteout
, and off-handedly, it's the ever-present subtext..."
The L Magazine
Henry Stewart
2/4
"a relatively mediocre, by-the-numbers mystery thriller that melts from your mind as soon as you step into the sunlight"

Jim Judy
2/4
"An adequate thriller - complete with scares, red herrings and a nonsensical twist-ending %u2013 which exploits its Antarctic surroundings for all their worth."
Big Picture Big Sound
Joe Lozito
2/5
"Kate Beckinsale is about as convincing a U.S. Marshal as Joan Crawford is a loving mother."
Time Out New York
Keith Uhlich
C-
"It is a mystery why star Beckinsale...keeps wallowing in junk food genre fare....a might more entertaining than watching snow on your television."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
1.5/4
"We do wish you the best in your future endeavors and that you do manage to find a warmer climate."
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
"Oh, the squandering! It's like setting a story on Mars and then pretending we're just out in the Arizona desert."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
2/4
"It has a great cast, an original thriller setting, and a compelling concept, and yet the central mystery is surprisingly limp."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
1.5/4
"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."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
".Little more than an extended episode of "C.S.I. Antarctica," "Whiteout" is a film that couldn't be more boring and uninteresting if it tried and if there is one thing that it most certainly doesn't do, it is try."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski

"...just predictable routine."
