Just another mindless action bore

by phungus phungus is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 01 '00
Pros: Ok special effects
Cons: Everything else
Chill Factor looked doom from the very beginning. It has a first-time director, whose only other experience has been with making commercials for RSA Communications (Ridley and Tony Scott's company). I'm sure he can make some good commercials when they...

- CHILL AND CHUCKLE

by Granniemose , Apr 11 '00
Pros: Directing, acting, script,movement
Cons: It ended too soon
This movie was offered to me at a time when I was feeling unwell, sorry for myself and, I guess, depressed. In my self-pitying mood at the time I was determined not to like it. Well, I was wrong.

If you like a movie that will make...

It Lost It's Coolness In The Last Half.

by The_Wood Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Feb 16 '00
Pros: Some Good Action. Funny Parts. Skeet is pretty good. Good Villain
Cons: Overall a poor film.
"Chill Factor" had probably the worst ad campaign of any movie of 99. When I saw the preview last year, I thought it looked like a pile of platypus dung. I finally rented it the other day, and it wasn't half bad. In fact it started off pretty...

Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the building

by susidee34 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Apr 30 '00
Pros: Cuba Gooding, Jr.
Cons: quite a few
Cuba, Cuba ... did you have a contract obligation to fill? Truthfully, the movie itself wasn't all that bad but it was a detriment to Gooding rather than a highlight. Gooding is such a fine actor he was even able to help this turkey fly (wait, turkeys...

Chill Factor: Put it on ice

by KingJFS , Jul 31 '00
Pros: Skeet Ulrich and Cuba Gooding look like they're having fun
Cons: The other boring characters, the cliched action moments
Chill Factor is in one sentence: a cheap action movie ripped off from other action movies. It's not a bad movie, there's just nothing special about it. It's totally average and never tries to be anything better.

Even the plot is average, a...

What's the Temperature of Cuba?

by bill_chambers , Mar 23 '00
Pros: Fun
Cons: Stupid
I suspect Chill Factor finally got the green light because it can be easily summed up in one sentence: Speed meets the opening sequence of Outbreak. (I surely would’ve bungled the pitch by proclaiming, “Dumb and Dumber meets The Wages of Fear!”)

Numbing Stupidity

by SusanGranger Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 30 '00
Pros: Two appealing actors trying to make a sow's ear into a silk purse
Cons: It's still a sow's ear - formulaic script and direction
In this wannabe action-thriller, the mid-August tranquility of a tiny tropical atoll in the South Pacific is shattered when a covert scientific military research operation, code name "Elvis," goes terribly wrong. As a result, only the...

Bore Factor

by kmhinman , Feb 12 '00
Pros: none!
Cons: the acting, directing, story line, the cost of having to watch it
All anyone needs to think when they see this movie at Blockbuster is, "DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!" I try to be a little positive about everything, but there is nothing positive here. You have 100+ minutes of junk. You would think that Cuba Gooding...

Just a bunch of defrosted action

by boden11 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 11 '00
Pros: It finally ended after one hour and forty two minutes
Cons: It lasted one hour and forty two minutes
After cruising my local video store in search of something good to watch, my girlfriend and I decided to check out Chill Factor. The movie looked ok (hey, it had Skeet Ulrich (Scream 1) and Cuba Gooding in it, so how bad could it be? Real bad actually....

Surprise, surprise...

by John_McKeenan , Nov 25 '00
Pros: Fun way to spend an afternoon.
Cons: Confusing, and that dead spot in the middle of the movie doesn't help.
What I expected from Chill Factor: A ridiculously lame story, spun from a ridiculously lame concept, a poor performance from Skeet Ulrich, a good performance from Cuba Gooding Jr., mindless action (even for a popcorn movie fan like me it seemed...

If You Got the Ice, You Won’t Pay the Price!?

by shimmer_grl , Apr 09 '00
Pros: fun action, comedy type flick, the lovable Skeet Ulrich! and I suppose Cuba Gooding is okay
Cons: acting is standard, nothing particularly great,.. and ideas around the main theme though ok, are pretty overdone, as it has just a tad twist from "Speed"!
Okay, so this is another one of those fairly mindless action packed movies that revolves around a bomb and those fighting to save the day and their own miserable lives, which you are probably pretty familiar with by now. You know, it’s "Speed",...

The soporific adventures of "Cute "and "Boring""

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 11 '00
Pros: Cuba Gooding's face
Cons: Everything else
It took me a while to find this movie, because I thought it was a comedy, barely a step up from "Dumb and Dumber". OH! It was an action flick!! It took me three passes to get through this movie, because I fell asleep. I should be grateful. I...

Makes A Better Door Jam Than A Source Of Entertainment

by Shevy , Jun 24 '00
Pros: The chances are pretty good you'll find an available copy at your local movie store.
Cons: Only the very beginning, the very end, and all that gibberish in between the two.
A hooded man just walked through the front door to my house with a shot gun. He's now pointing the shotgun at me with direct orders to watch a VHS tape he brought with him. Looking at the tape, it's entitled "Chill Factor". My alternative is...

This script was an extra credit project for Hollywood High!

by Cate1956 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 09 '00
Pros: Cuba Gooding Jr. and Skeet Ulrich
Cons: The extra credit project was a valiant effort....
My boys love action movies, so I thought Chill Factor would be a great escape. My video guru told me that while there was some language and some violence in Chill Factor, it was a movie that could safely be viewed by the prepubescent...

Let It Melt!

by evspears , Feb 12 '00
Pros: action
Cons: bad acting, no story line
I picked this movie up the other night thinking maybe this would be a good movie. Boy was I ever wrong. You would think that with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Skeet Ulrich you might have something good to watch. Both actors have been in hit movies, but I guess...
