Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhile based on a true story, "White Mile" is very reminiscent of a television movie from 1974 titled "Pray for the Wildcats" wherein a corporate survivalist takes a group of ad-men on a desert dirt-bike trip in Baja, Mexico, to test their stamina, and to bring them together in a manly fashion. Like "White Mile" stars a former television icon, Alan Alda from MASH, "Pray for the WIldcats" featured several actors famous for television roles: Andy Griffith, Robert Reed and William Shatner.
- Quotes
Jack Robbins: Is your knee hurting, Dan?
Dan Cutler: No, it's fine. How are you? You ought to ask them to give you a pill.
Jack Robbins: Do you want me to make the calls to the families?
Dan Cutler: No, I'll call them. You go back home, and make sure people don't fall apart. You know, there's a lesson here. I didn't motivate them enough. If I'd just built a fire under them, we wouldn't be here now. I let myself down, you know? You were great out there, Jack; you ought to be proud of yourself.

Featured review
Much better than the average score would have you believe
First of all this is not an hour and 30 minutes of a high action survival film. Rather a morally grey character drama focusing on people's interpretations and motivations before and after the "trip." And in that sense if you go in with the right expectations you will be happily pleased. Every scenes is well shot, and superbly acted and lots of characters are well known. This story delves into people's moral compass. And sometimes the truth isn't as black and white. You can't say too much without spoiling it but it leaves you thinking, and certainly uneasy. It's not a cut and dry film in terms of good or bad and that there is where the film succeeds. Theres lots of lessons to be taught from this film as well. Would highly recommend for those looking for films with deeper meaning and asking tough questions about our morals and motivations.
