WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
billcr12 A similar idea to Speed, where the bus had to keep moving above 50 mph to avoid exploding, the difference here is a substance must be kept at a higher temperature than fifty degrees. Dr. Richard Long is a scientist who worked on a top secret weapons project for the military which resulted in an accidental explosion, killing eighteen people. Long moves to Montana and does smaller experiments and spends time fly fishing. His former boss, a Colonel Brynner, is released from prison after ten years and he assembles a group of terrorists to steal a substance called elvis, which is highly volatile and will detonate above 50 degrees. Cuba Gooding is Arlo, who drives an ice cream truck. He ends up with elvis and most of the movie is a typical chase scene with a second guy, Tim(Skeet Ulrich) fighting with Arlo as they try to avoid Brynner and his crew. Chill factor reminded me of the A Team, but where is Mr. T when you need him; pity the fool who watches this.
lawrence_elliott I had to review this film because of all the "Not Bad" reviews. This is simply one of the worst films I have ever seen. This one would definitely qualify for Elvira's "World's Worst Films." Cuba Gooding's expletive deleted "Ah S--t!" is screeched from his falsetto voice at least 2 dozen times throughout the film. There is no script and what there is is lousy. There is no story worthy of note. Lousy acting! Lousy direction! They go hand in hand in this film. This movie is consistently bad throughout. Are people going brain dead from watching too many zombie films and/or are they simply smoking too much "weed?" This film should be flushed down the toilet. Or better yet do like Mel Gibson commanded in "Braveheart." "Burrrn it!"
nospam78 This is a total paint-by-numbers job that is devoid of brains, originality or believability. Every element of it has already been done to death many times over. Interracial male bonding buddy movie? Check. Road movie? Check. Rogue military bad guys? Check. Pseudo-scientific BS? Check.I really can't imagine what Cuba Gooding was doing in this throwaway effort when he can have his pick of roles. Especially playing second fiddle to Skeet Ulrich, who was reasonably good in the TV series Jericho but is not exactly an A-lister. And Gooding's role was annoyingly formulaic as the hyper, wise-cracking black guy. The bad guys, the country sheriff etc. were likewise straight from central casting.There was a fairly good chase scene, but I'm glad I didn't pay money to watch this movie.
blairco Let me start by saying that I never walk out of movies. I'm a movie buff, and if I'm going to pay eight bucks to see a picture, I'm going to make sure I see the whole thing. However, Chill Factor was a different experience altogether. The trailers looked great. I had been following this movie, having been a fan of Cuba Gooding Jr. since Jerry Maguire. Talk about a let-down. What did this movie have? A terrible plot, stereotypically bad villains (the lead villain in this film is a textbook case of overacting), and a garbage script that lacked an original idea with the exception of an ice cream truck. This flick is blasphemy. Don't see it.
