Stupid story and silly characters but I wanted an action film. "Whiteout" has all the cheesiness of a solid-action B-movie. I got this film because I heard a rumor of Stallone and "Cliffhanger 2"--which he supposely wants to do on a freakin' dam--I think that's awesome! The movie was alright, it had nice explosions and unoriginal action scenes to fill your action DVD library. I recommend it only to action fans. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

An enjoyable action movie about a dam controller (Oda Yuji) who must protect the dam from terrorists threating to destroy the dam. Dealing with the guilt at the loss his his best friend after a rescue mission to save some hikers, our reluctant hero must also save the fiancee (Matsushima Nanako) of his dead best friend in the process. Definitely worth checking out. | | AGREE? | READER COMMENTS | AUTHOR | | Y | "Die Hard" on a dam! The movie is great. The actors were good. I enjoyed this film a lot. | JV47842 |

Well, this is quite good. Some fine action and good actors makes this cliffhanger look-alike movie to a real pleasure. The story isnt the best but that doesent really matters. I think most people would like this movie, dont expect to much though because it has its bad moments as well. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |

| | | | | Rumor has it that if they ever got around to making a Cliffhanger 2 it was going to take place at a dam. Suffice it to say, the idea obviously had some merit and the Japanese film industry has turned out a fine effort. When terrorists seize control of the largest dam in all of Japan, a controller at the dam is forced to become an unwillingly hero. It is not for the sake of his fellow workers held hostage or his dead friend's fiancee who happens to be visiting that he does this, but rather for the dam itself. The action is so-so, but this guy is also an expert mountain climber so it allows the action to move outdoors and create some interesting situations. Overall, the film was something different and I would recommend it if you like action cinema from another source. | | LOG IN TO COMMENT ON THIS REVIEW! |
