SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Python Hyena Chill Factor (1999): Dir: Hugh Johnson / Cast: Skeet Ulrich, Cuba Gooding Jr., David Paymer, Peter Firth, Kevin J. O'Connor: Stupid action premise that winds down to clichés, stereotypes and total idiocy. Title represents a device that needs to be kept cold but it can also refer to the situation itself. An experiment goes wrong (much like the film) that costs the lives of soldiers. David Paymer plays the doctor in charge who regrets it. Peter Firth plays the commander who took the fall and plots revenge. The rest is a dumb road trip with Skeet Ulrich and ice cream truck driver Cuba Gooding Jr. Hugh Johnson directs as if this is a Looney Tunes cartoon. Ulrich plays a deli worker whom is the only one Paymer can trust on the verge of death, but the role has him either fleeing by vehicle or on foot. Gooding Jr. brings comic relief but the role is total cardboard. Paymer does well but his role requires him to regret, guilt and then die within fifteen minutes, which renders the role a prop. Firth cannot raise the commander above embarrassment. He murders the Paymer character then spends the remainder of the film trying to do the same to Ulrich and Gooding Jr. He also yells threats a lot but that may be the attitude coming from working on this film. Kevin J. O'Connor also makes an appearance in what will become standard for him and action films. Mindless action junk that should be buried in the Arctic. Score: 1 / 10

videorama-759-859391 There could of been something much more better, than what eventuated here, it's a disappointing loss to what was an exciting idea. Palpably here, it's the script which is at fault, a lot of suspense and thrills have been sucked out of it, we're left with a below average actioner. This film too, pretty much finished Ulrich's career, and he really hasn't much to offer with his performance here. The film's exciting start, takes place in the South American jungle, when an experiment, involving frigid temperatures, goes horribly wrong, and a army of soldiers of frozen out, you could say. Taking the rap is a Colonel (Firth inn a dastardly role) now turned terrorist as just being released from prison after a ten year stint, with nothing but revenge on his mind. Disgraced scientist (Paymer), the real one responsible, for that horrific incident, has since retired to a simple life, as a fisherman in one of the backwater pine towns. Firth + his posse and Paymer's pasts cross, and it's a bitter confrontation. Paymer still has the chilled contraption of death, or better known as, yeah, Elvis, which Firth is after to make a loud of spondouli, putting it out there on the open market. Ulrich takes off with it, teaming up with an ice cream delivery man (Cuba Gooding Jnr, who's fast gabbling got on my nerves) pursued by Firth and his posse, where from here, it's an almost non suspense filled chase, with a couple of high thrills, but really just steady driving, nothing happenings, going on, here, where we're left with CBJ's ranting (someone give me a gun). There's some other thrills throughout the movie, but it's more a "What happened with the movie here?", territory) Firth's twisted character, did have a have one hell of a motive for becoming who he does, I could sympathize with him a little. CF is one of those less memorable, short running movie pics of 2000, and the onus is on the writers, who have obviously written a messy exchange of bad dialogue, and plotting, from what was sadly a movie that could of really been something, if penned by different hands. Firth too, the real actor here, is one of few things good about this.

bigwig_thalyi I came across this film one night and let me tell you it is a cracker of a movie. Cuba Gooding Jr,an ice cream delivery driver,and Skeet Ulrich,an employee at a diner, are transporting a secret chemical weapon,named Elvis,that if exceeding the temperature of 50 degrees will detonate killing 3 million Americans and annihilating everything for miles around. They are pursued by terrorist Peter Firth, who wants to sell the weapon to the highest bidder, and his female cronie Hudson Leick. This is a film that keeps upping the tension and keeps you on the edge of your seat. Cuba Gooding Jr and Skeet Ulrich are perfect as 2 unlikely heroes who at first don't get on but have to work together and in so doing become friends. Peter Firth plays a really nasty piece of work but his co-star Hudson Leick steals every scene with her portrayal of a female assassin who has no scruples what so ever. If you ever get the chance to watch this film then take up the offer because you will be seeing a small movie that is a little gem. By the end of this film you will have no nails left to chew. 8 out of 10.

actionmoviestar Every once in a while, there is a film that comes along and grabs you unexpectedly, without notice or warning. I must say that "Chill Factor" is one of those such films. At the time of it's release, I had no thought or opinion whatsoever about this film. I didn't even really pay attention to the commercials. A year and a half pass and what do you know, this same movie comes on Cinemax, ironically on my birthday. So I decided to check it out and man I was pleased with what I saw. Maybe this film might not have the greatest plot I know, but it sure as heck keeps you entertained throughout the whole movie. Not many action movies can keep you entertained for the entire duration of the movie but this film succeeds in keeping you engaged the entire time. The chemistry between Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Skeet Ulrich can be ultimately seen in every scene. This film had solid action and the characters are a little hokey, but who cares. Anyway if you're looking for a fun and exciting film, "Chill Factor" is sure to keep you entertained from start 'til finish.
