Reviews for Chill Factor
The cinematic equivalent of Kraft macaroni and cheese: bland, familiar, tasty.

Cuba Gooding Jr. delivers another Pepsi One performance.

Chill Factor is as fun as watching ice melt!
01/01/00
Barely thought-out jumble of Hollywood conventions dashed together in the pursuit of the almighty quick buck.

An irredeemably transparent version of Speed.

Been there, done that.
01/01/00
There’s one standout action scene, but the other parts perfunctorily connect the dots.
01/01/00
It's rude, crude and eminently forgettable.
01/01/00
Derivative, uninspired.
01/01/00
Fairly standard save - the - world stuff, with a parade of implausibilities.
01/01/00
Dull and uninteresting.
01/01/00
The plot is rigged to disintegrate if a moviegoer's IQ nudges above 70.
01/01/00
Tediously predictable!
01/01/00
Gooding plays the worst role I've ever seen him play in a movie!
01/01/00
The comedy is lame, the action tired, tired, tired.
01/01/00
Surprisingly thrill-less!
01/01/00
The film is never involving, most of the characters are flat and too much of the plot is recycled from other similarly based films to make it worth seeing.
01/01/00
This film is seasoned in cliches, with plenty of badly written dialogue, over the top acting from Cuba Gooding Jr., zero chemistry between the two leads, and horribly tacky bad guys, tossed in to complete an overall bad movie recipe.
01/01/00
Chill Factor is a tepid thriller that got lost on the way to the video store, and ended up on megaplex screens.
