Whiteout (Dominic Sena, 2009)

WhiteoutTake away the extreme setting at the South Pole, and Sena’s adaptation of Greg Rucka’s graphic novel doesn’t have much. The frigid temperatures, blasting snow, and constant threat of freezing to death (or at least breaking off a few body parts) gives the film a certain icy tension, but it’s not enough to cover up for the fact that it is, in essence, a relatively mediocre, by-the-numbers mystery thriller that melts from your mind as soon as you step into the sunlight. (Hollywood Jewel 16, Waco, TX)
