it happens in Antartica. Kate Beckingsale, whom I think is great on screen, plays a US Marshall in Antartica. Just a few days before she plans to leave before the winter, a murdered man turns up as well as another murder. She is trying to solve the murders before the winter storms come. She is helped by a UN officer. I thought it was pretty easy to guess who the bad guy would turn out to be. But, I liked the outside scenes and being chased by a ice pick guy while trying to run attached to a rope in high winds and snow.
The stupid scene of the film has to be when Carrie, Robert, and Delfy are all in the hole and go in the plane. Would it not make sense for one person to stay on top in case the ice caves in, which it did. About 99 percent of the time, people would be dead in that situation, but this is a movie and over half was left when it happened, so you knew they would find a way out.
FINAL VERDICT: OK, easy to guess the killer, but it was entertaining enough.
