SOLID indie survival suspense story.

2023 "Whiteout" -not to be confused with two other movies with the same title-, is Derek Barnes's (Director) and James McDougall's (Writer and Leading actor "Henry") limited release full length film version of their previous 2016 short film, "Walking Supply.""Whiteout" is one of those hard-to-find unique quality indie movies which most people haven't seen or even heard about. A rough gem.Although shot on a low budget, "Whiteout" maximizes its limited financial resources through the sheer talent and high quality of the overall production from script, plot, acting, direction and filming.The cinematography, especially the bleak wilderness landscape and the solid performances of the cast making it worth viewing "Whiteout" for those who like survival suspense stories like 1997 "The Edge"."Whiteout" is NOT an action-packed adventure movie, but rather a grim survival suspense story which reveals some pretty dark planning and motivations of certain characters as the story progresses. The "mike-drop" moment is when our soft, pudgy protagonist, "Henry" is informed by his desperate ex US special operator co-escapees the true purpose to why they had rescued him over other fellow detainees from the Russian gulag they all had been black-holed in."Whiteout" effectively delivers a visceral survival suspense story with an ironic ending. Viewed on Prime.

A Disappointing Experience: Don't Be Fooled by the Highly Rated Reviews

If you're considering watching this movie based on the glowing reviews, I would highly advise you to approach with caution. Don't let the highly-rated reviews deceive you-this film is an absolute disappointment. In fact, I can't help but feel that the positive reviews are either exaggerated or, worse yet, entirely fabricated. I went in with high hopes, expecting a thrilling, engaging experience, but what I got was a complete bore. The entire movie fails to deliver on almost every front, from its veru generic plot to its lackluster action sequences, to the cliqued performances from the cast.Let's start with the plot, which is perhaps the most perplexing aspect of the film. It seems like the filmmakers were so focused on trying to create an intricate story that they forgot to make it watchable or coherent. Key plot points don't make sense, and the storyline feels completely generic and boring . You'll find yourself questioning the motivations of the characters and scratching your head at the events unfolding on screen. Being a survival movie in the wilderness, the exciting twists or logical plot points non existent . There are moments where it seems like the film is just randomly throwing in twists, with no regard for how they fit into the larger narrative. Instead of creating suspense or intrigue, the events folding on the screen are non events but rather some generic twists and turns . The film just leave the viewer who expects some well made twists and turns to be frustrated.The lack of a strong, believable plot is only made worse by the action sequences, which are frankly underwhelming. Action is supposed to elevate a film, especially in a genre where it's expected. Unfortunately, the scenes here are neither thrilling nor exciting. The choreography is sloppy, the effects look cheap, and the stakes feel non-existent. It's as if the filmmakers simply added in a few action sequences as a formality, without putting any effort into making them dynamic or memorable. They come off as stiff and uninspired, and they do nothing to help redeem the film.But perhaps the most glaring issue with this movie is the acting. It's difficult to watch at times because the performances are so wooden and unconvincing. None of the actors seem to bring any depth or emotion to their roles, which makes it nearly impossible to connect with their characters. The dialogue delivery feels forced, and many moments that should be dramatic or intense fall flat because the actors just don't sell them. It's as though the cast didn't even try to immerse themselves into their respective roles, and instead, they're just going through the motions.In addition to the lackluster performances, the film suffers from a severe lack of character development. We're given no real reason to care about any of the characters, as they're all one-dimensional and poorly fleshed out. The film attempts to inject some emotional beats, but they feel hollow and fail to resonate because u cannot truly understand or invest in the characters' struggles. This detachment only compounds the overall lack of engagement that the film offers.The direction and pacing also leave a lot to be desired. The film drags on longer than it should, with many scenes feeling unnecessarily drawn out. There's no sense of urgency or excitement in the storytelling, which only exacerbates the boredom you'll likely feel while watching. The director seems more focused on style over substance, but even the visuals fail to impress. There's nothing unique or visually captivating about the cinematography, and it just adds to the overall lackluster feel of the film.In conclusion, this movie fails to deliver on every level, from its incoherent plot to its subpar action sequences and poor performances. The film ultimately falls flat, offering nothing of substance to justify its high ratings. If you're looking for an engaging, well-executed movie, you're better off passing on this one. Don't be fooled by the positive reviews-they're not representative of the true quality of this film. In the end, you'll be left with a feeling of disappointment and regret.

I rather enjoyed it

So it was 1am and I'm looking around for movies to watch that would go with the semi-drunken state I am as I'm sipping on my 3rd or 4th scotch.Up comes "Whiteout". I check out the trailer for 30 secs and decides, why not.Watching the movie I was actually rather impressed - the acting is not bad at all and the plot does make sense. I had no problem with the cinematography either.The first 10-15 mins of the movie did feel kinda rushed and I wasn't exactly sure why these people were in the situation they were in - but, hey, I went along for the ride and liked it much more than a lot of recent big budget Hollywood movies.Don't let the low rating deter you - give it 20 mins and you might also find that you like it.
