From the Back Cover
Convenience store clerk Tim (Skeet Ulrich - Scream) and ice cream deliveryman Arlo (Oscar winner, Cuba Gooding, Jr) are just two ordinary guys, until a dying scientist entrusts them with a deadly chemical on ice: codenamed 'Elvis'. The unlikely allies are propelled on a dangerous journey - pursued by terrorists out for retribution and intent on retrieval of this substance that will kill every living thing in a hundred miles, once it melts and activates.
Now these unlikely heros must succeed at any cost and get 'Elvis' safely to a military base, fuelled by one breakneck principle: chill or be chilled.

Chill Factor starts with a dramatic beginning in which we see a general make a mistake on the blast radius of a testing bomb and is forced to watch helplessly from the bomb shelter as his men are burnt to death. The film jumps on ten years to when the general is released from jail for his mistake and decides that the world owes him. Skeet Ulrich and Cuba Gooding Jr. are thrown together whilst Cuba is doing a late night ice cream delivery shift to a convenience store that Ulrich is working in. A scientist friend of Ulrich's stumbles in with a bullet wound having escaped from a weapons hold with a bomb with enough power to destroy America. The bomb is what the general is after. The film twists the plot of Speed a bit and if the bomb goes over 50 degrees F, then it will go off. The mismatched duo must now get it to a certain place and keep it frtom the general's hands. It may sound cheesy at first, but Chill Factor works brilliantly as a mismatched buddy movie in the Lethal Weapon format, with more than enough well-timed humour from Gooding Jr. The action is fast-paced including a car chase with trucks and motorbikes, a rather odd downhill escape route on a mountainside in a boat, a hostage situation at a big damn, and a more than satisfying finale. The film fails in one area only, where the tense atmosphere of the rising temperature of the bomb is not tense at all and could have been a lot better. However, this film should be taken as fun, and will provide most people with an entertaining and fun night in, with its viewer friendly mix of action, comedy, and non-stop thrills.

I really enjoyed watching Chill Factor, that is why it was the first DVD I bought from Amazon. The film is a good show and it is filled with alot of action. The film contains two main characters, Arlo (Cuba Gooding Jr) who plays the role of an ice cream deliveryman and Tim Mason (Skeet Ulrich) a convience store clerk. Together they to keep a weapon called Elvis away from a team of highly trained men. This is an excellent show and Cuba Gooding Jr's humour makes it even more enjoyable.

This film may not have been as big as most of the films out there but it defininatly should have been. The acting by the Cuba and Skeet was wicked and they both made me laugh throughout the film. Its one of those "it could happen to you" movies where two everyday normal guys find themselves transporting a bomb across the state chased by a money hungry army general who wants to sell the bomb to the highest bidder.
My suggestion is buy this film, if not then just watch it because its well worth it.

It's Awesome!
The film is like no other I've seen before. It's action-packed, very funny and fast moving. It's gripping with a not that well known cast but that makes no difference. Read more
