About this movie

Antarctica. The most isolated landmass on earth. Six million square miles of ice. Six months of darkness. Temperatures of minus 120 degrees and winds at 100 miles per hour. For U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko, (Kate Beckinsale, Underworld, Van Helsing, The Aviator) things are about to take an even more dangerous turn. During the last 3 days of her assignment, as the complete closure of the base for winter approaches, she is sent to investigate a body on the ice. Antarctica's first ever murder. A shocking discovery in itself, it will plunge her into an even more bizarre mystery and the revelation of secrets long-buried under the endless ice...secrets that someone believes are still worth killing for. As Stetko races to find the killer before he finds her, winter is already closing in. In the deadly Antarctic whiteout, she won't see him till he's a breath away.

Ratings and reviews

Slow-moving and atmospheric, this is one of my favourite films. I know it's never likely to appear in any best-of lists, but it is entertaining and the cinematography is fantastic. Well worth a watch!
