Every day, AlloCiné recommends a film to (re)watch on TV. Tonight: a murder case to solve in the cold of Antarctica.
Antarctica. 14 million square kilometers of ice isolated from the world and plunged into darkness six months a year. Minimum temperature: – 84°C. Wind speed: 160 km/h. Nature never wanted man to survive there. However, for Carrie Stetko, it is not the environment that is the most dangerous. The only representative of the law in this unforgiving territory, she must investigate a body found on the ice. Antarctica’s first homicide.
Doesn’t it make you want this pitch, which is, to say the least, original? If you want to see the result in your living room, then go to C8 this evening with the broadcast of the polar thriller Whiteout, a very effective and totally underestimated B series.
Released in theaters in 2009, Whiteout, adaptation of the comic book of the same name, is a completely honorable detective film, with increasing suspense and a gripping atmosphere. Headlining, Kate Beckinsale, the star of the Underworld saga, proves particularly convincing in the role of a US Marshall plunged into an icy mystery.
“The brutal presence of Antarctica”
“Extreme weather conditions only amplify the tension”declares producer Joel Silver, Hollywood juggernaut who notably gave birth to the Matrix sagas, Lethal Weapon and Die Hard. “We feel the brutal presence of Antarctica establishing itself as a powerful and omnipresent character in the story.”
“Things are much more intense when your every move is potentially fatal.”he continues. “Even investigating a crime scene is more dangerous here than anywhere else – the travel to the scene, the exposure to the elements, the possibility of becoming isolated. You take a risk every time you set foot out”.
Want a thriller whose action takes place in a distant and formidable environment? So don’t be afraid and quickly find out Whiteout ! Possible that this very well put together little B series won’t leave you cold…
Tonight on C8 at 9:20 p.m.
