This Antarctic murder mystery could have been a moody psycho-thriller like, say, Insomnia at the other pole, but director Dominic Sena (Swordfish, Gone in Sixty Seconds) doesn’t do moody. He does obvious. And then he explains it. Did you know that Antarctica is cold and inhospitable? US Marshall Kate Beckinsale has to find the killer of a frozen stiff found on the ice near a research station before all her suspects leave for the winter. The people in the final Big Fight Scene look so identical in parkas and swirling snow that you can’t begin to tell who the good/bad guys are. Or care. Left me cold.
