 | CHILL FACTOR is a combination of almost every action movie of the past ten years, but it is entertaining, fast-paced, with some really exciting action sequences. Director Hugh Johnson wisely eschews character development and focuses on the chase. Peter Firth does a good job as the villainous Bremer, an Army general who took the fall for a disastrous chemical warfare accident which killed 18 soldiers. After ten years in prison, he vows revenge by selling the deadly agent to the highest bidder. Skeet Ulrich as the badboy Mason and Cuba Gooding Jr. as the ice cream truck driver he forces to help him transport the deadly agent to an Army base in Montana do well in their buddy roles. CHILL FACTOR stretches the limits for credibility, but it moves well and entertains, that's what this kind of movie should do. |
| Rating | | | Date | November 02, 2004 | | Summary | Ulrich and Gooding melt in a so-so supposed actioner | Content
| Skeet Ulrich (Scream, The Newton Boys) and Cuba Gooding, Jr. (Jerry Maguire, Judgment Night) star as a couple of normal guys who team up together and hit the road with a bomb, nicely named Elvis, in the back of an ice cream truck and they have to keep it cool otherwise it will blow up. Meanwhile, the stiff badguy, Peter Firth (Pearl Harbor) is hot on their tail to try to get the bomb from them. Supposed buddy flick doesnt hold up to it's end and the supporting cast is wasted off, Firth's badguy isnt even that great of a villain. Ulrich and Gooding, Jr. are a good team but they arent fit for their parts, though they have some funny scenes, particualarly the scene where they louge the boat down the hill, otherwise it's all throwaway. David Paymer (Mr. Saturday Night, Quiz Show) and Kevin J' O Connor (The Mummy, The Mummy Returns) also star. |

| IT'S AMAZING HOW A GREAT ACTOR LIKE CUBA GOODING, JR. COULD WIN A BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR OSCAR FOR ''JERRY MAGUIRE'' AND THEN END UP IN A LOWBROW MOVIE LIKE THIS. A COOK [SKEET ULRICH] AND A THIEF [CUBA GOODING, JR.] MUST STOP A DEADLY CHEMICAL WEAPON FROM BEING USED BY A MADMAN [PETER FIRTH]. THE ACTION IS DECENT AND IT HAS A NICE SENSE OF HUMOR BUT THIS MOVIE JUST GETS TIRING AFTER A WHILE. I WOULDN'T REALLY RECCOMEND THIS TO ACTION FANS. BUT IF YOU LIKE THIS SORT OF ACTION FILM, GIVE IT A TRY. |
