Whiteout

A perfect example of a movie made by a studio committee. If they are cooked-up dispassionately, all the necessary ingredients do not always make a good movie. You could feel the meddling story executives in every predictable plot point, every overly-expository line of dialogue, and every shower scene. And it felt like it was developed in the early 90’s, when the big twist; the big novelty of a movie could be that the main character was a woman. “It’s about a cop, but she’s a WOMAN, believe it or not!” The outmoded premise is the least of Whiteout’s problems.
