Reviews for Chill Factor
Top CriticThe stunt work is pretty good, the brain work close to nonexistent.
03/07/07
Top CriticEach and every action scene is stolen from some other movie.
05/26/06
The atmosphere is winning, with the odd felicity peppering the journey with gags and groans.
02/09/06
We've been here before and it's been done better, much better.
04/09/05
Willful suspension of disbelief won't do it.
05/20/03
Blends lousy screenwriting with a totally ridiculous premise, and flavors it lovingly with unrealistic situations and unfathomable directing choices.
02/08/03
Neither Ulrich's brooding intensity nor Gooding's funky panic act (he whines throughout the stunt work) add much to the enterprise.
12/02/02
It's toxic, all right.
11/05/02
Its visual thrills and solid performances combine to make it an above average film treat.
08/02/02
[A] flaccid action picture.
06/05/02
The movie doesn't get any funnier.

Here's someone's idea of a cool movie concept: A couple of guys are speeding along in an ice-cream truck carrying a bomb that will explode if it gets above 50. No, not miles per hour -- degrees Fahrenheit!

Top CriticThis film is easily forgettable.
01/01/01
That this script didn't self-destruct during its first pitch meeting is, well, chilling.
01/01/00
Director Hugh Johnson's plot is predictable and even Cuba Gooding Jr.'s charismatic presence can't salvage this flick.
01/01/00
A halfhearted effort at suspense!
01/01/00
Top CriticA rehash of better action films.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe cinematic equivalent of Kraft macaroni and cheese: bland, familiar, tasty.
01/01/00
Cuba Gooding Jr. delivers another Pepsi One performance.
