The New York Times doesn't seem overly impressed with the film adaptation of "White Out."
The first thing Kate Beckinsale does in “Whiteout” is take a shower. This may be because her character, a United States marshal named Carrie Stetko, needs to rinse off the grime of Antarctica, where she is stationed. Or, as seems more likely, it may be because the filmmakers, realizing that she would be spending most of the movie swaddled in thick parkas and layers of thermal protection, felt that some audience members might enjoy seeing Ms. Beckinsale in her underwear and then out of it behind a strategically fogged glass door.
Which is not to imply that the shower scene, interrupted by a knock at the door — “I’m in the shower,” Carrie cleverly replies — is more contrived or absurd than anything else that happens in this studiously mediocre little thriller
