Chill Factor (1999)
7/10
Far-fetched and plain, but still pleasant to follow
21 February 2013
In spite of several clichés and improbable scenes, the movie was not boring or annoying to watch - thanks to Cuba Gooding, Jr. as Arlo, Peter Firth as Andrew Brynner, and David Paymer as Dr. Richard Long, above all (Skeet Ulrich as Tim Mason was uninviting to me). Perhaps not worth for a cinema visit, but rather good in front of TV screen with a (male) company - and I find it better than most of movies with Norris, Seagal or Dudikoff. Chill Factor is a mediocre A-movie, but outperforms most of good B-movies; that is why I find that the viewers have been too harsh and critical towards it. Fortunately or unfortunately, film-makers like Tarantino, Schumacher, The Coen Brothers, Scott etc have no monopoly on making action movies.
