The continent's first winter storm is coming when a body, wearing no gear, is discovered in the tundra.

| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderThe film's been sitting on the shelf for 2 1/2 years; maybe it went bad? |
| CNNRadioPaul ChambersOkay, it's far from the best murder mystery you've ever seen, but I still can't help but liking this throwaway thriller. The ending was no surprise. Paul Chambers, CNN. |
| Fort Bend SunDanny MintonAt first I thought they were trying to do a film noir thing with the dialogue, but then I realized that it was just bad writing made worse by horrendous line delivery. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn JohansonOh, the squandering! It's like setting a story on Mars and then pretending we're just out in the Arizona desert. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumWhiteout is a conventionally jam-packed, dutifully ludicrous action thriller. |
| AV ClubTasha RobinsonWhiteout's intriguing setting and storyline would be gripping if Beckinsale's Sherlocking around wasn't so glossed-over, or alternately spoon-fed to the audience. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordIt is a mystery why star Beckinsale...keeps wallowing in junk food genre fare....a might more entertaining than watching snow on your television. |
| Filmcritic.comBill GibronDull and draining, Whiteout should have been offered under one of these preferable alternate titles -- Washout, or even better, Wornout. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAn Antarctic-set murder mystery that might have played well on the printed page but emerges as a slushy mess on the screen. |
| Contra Costa TimesRandy MyersIts worst offense is assuming the audience is so dumb that it'll be shocked by one of the most telegraphed endings in movie history. |
