That was an excellent one.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

I had to review this film because of all the "Not Bad" reviews. This is simply one of the worst films I have ever seen. This one would definitely qualify for Elvira's "World's Worst Films." Cuba Gooding's expletive deleted "Ah S--t!" is screeched from his falsetto voice at least 2 dozen times throughout the film. There is no script and what there is is lousy. There is no story worthy of note. Lousy acting! Lousy direction! They go hand in hand in this film. This movie is consistently bad throughout. Are people going brain dead from watching too many zombie films and/or are they simply smoking too much "weed?" This film should be flushed down the toilet. Or better yet do like Mel Gibson commanded in "Braveheart." "Burrrn it!"

This film was complete trash, but in a good way. I've always looked upon Cuba Gooding Jnr as a semi decent actor but if this is the kind of film he is going to be starring in, then I can see him descending the same way as Charlie Sheen.You can see from the outset that the makers tried to make one of those high octane action thrillers, which are ten-a-penny these days. But when you've got a budget that would struggle to finance an episode of quantum leap, then maybe making a film of this kind wasn't such a good idea.They make use of computer graphics in a lot of the action scenes which, to be honest, doesn't look the worst I have ever seen, but still prompts you to snicker at how bad it is. The most ridiculous of which occurs at the end of the movie, when a chemical weapon which we have been told has the power to blow up basically a quarter of America, detonates in a tunnel.At this point we are subjected to rotten computer graphics which are so bad that I instantly had flashbacks of Dean Stockwell and the film-making atrocity that was the Langoliers.But the story is complete nonsense, so even with a budget the size of Lord of the Rings, there would be no way of making the whole thing believable anyway. So you can perhaps see where the producer was coming from i.e. lets make a cheap action thriller and we'll plaster Cuba Gooding's face over the front cover and we'll maybe make some money.It would've have been better if Eric Roberts had been given the leading role.

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.

Let me start by saying that I never walk out of movies. I'm a movie buff, and if I'm going to pay eight bucks to see a picture, I'm going to make sure I see the whole thing. However, Chill Factor was a different experience altogether. The trailers looked great. I had been following this movie, having been a fan of Cuba Gooding Jr. since Jerry Maguire. Talk about a let-down. What did this movie have? A terrible plot, stereotypically bad villains (the lead villain in this film is a textbook case of overacting), and a garbage script that lacked an original idea with the exception of an ice cream truck. This flick is blasphemy. Don't see it.
