A decade after chemical weapon "Elvis" kills 18 soldiers during a test, military scapegoat Andrew (Peter Firth) gets out of jail and tracks down scientist Richard (David Paymer) in Montana -- who shoots him. Andrew manages to tell his friend Tim (Skeet Ulrich) to get Elvis to safety at a fort 90 miles away. However, if exposed to a temperature higher than 50 degrees, the weapon will go off, so Andrew forces ice-cream-truck driver Arlo (Cuba Gooding Jr.) to help him transport the device.

Critics Consensus

Claiming it fails on every level, critics had almost nothing good to say about this movie.

This is a cookie-cutter buddy movie, as predictable as they come.

As an unintentional send-up of the predictability and wretchedness of modern action-comedies, Chill Factor is hilarious. Sadly, however, no one involved seems to realize the silliness and transgressive stupidity of its sub-direct-to-video-thriller script.

2/4

Nobody questions this logic, but then there are a lot of logical gaps in this movie.

3/5

…as an accidental comedy, Chill Factor has plenty to offer slumming cineastes, with weak, colourless leads, a slavering, snarling villain, and some ludicrous but entertaining action scenes…

1.5/4

It doesn't bother me too much that this is silly; like everyone else in the theater, I'm here for the thrills. But Chill Factor doesn't let me have any with my brain.

This dull and uninspiring mess has very little to offer other than an unoriginal idea in an under-utilised setting.
