75It's one of those movies that are unfortunately so technically well done, it's hard to tune out on the senseless story.
-
It's the performances of Ulrich and Gooding, in particular, that lift Chill Factor out of the derivative. Gooding possesses so much boundless energy that he practically dares you not to care, not to get involved, not to root for his success.
-
50There are a lot of logical gaps in this movie.
-
Most of the action revolves around Ulrich's character, and the center cannot hold our interest.
-
A ho-hummer of a "Speed" knockoff that will leave most audiences cold.
-
50Neither (Gooding nor Ulrich) has the distincitve spark of an action hero, and their Butch and Sundance repartee falls so consistently flat that you end up feeling a little embarrassed for them.
-
40None of this is especially funny, nor is it particularly exhilarating; at best it's throwaway entertainment.
-
40A movie that wants to be "Speed" so badly that it runs roughshod over the essentials, including a decent script.
-
40These bantering would-be heroes mostly live at the tops of their voices.
-
40Instantly disposable ...Gooding appears tobe losing the momentum of his Jerry Maguire Oscar win two years ago.
-
40Isn't a bad action movie -- it's just an utterly forgettable one.
-
40A mechanically efficient chase-by-numbers movie.
-
40The stunt work is pretty good, the brain work close to nonexistent.
-
38A substandard ebony-and-ivory buddy pic.
-
38If you're the kind of person who goes to the movies primarily to watch faces melt to pulp, you won't be disappointed.
-
30Melts swiftly...don't expect a shred of credibility.
-
30Utterly lacking the drive and roller-coaster energy expected of top action pics, this latest try at repackaging "Speed" is a Kmart version of a Jerry Bruckheimer production.
-
30An irredeemably transparent... DIRECT RIPPING OFF OF "SPEED."
-
28Skeet Ulrich continues to disappoint in one high-profile project after another.
-
25This poor excuse for a thriller turns, with a great crunching of gears, into a mess of a buddy comedy. Either way, it misfires.
-
25Gooding plays the worst role I've ever seen him play in a movie...he perpetuates a kind of black stereotype that should have become history years ago.
-
25God-awful?Gooding screams out lines like ''I'm about to get in yo' ass like last year's underwear!''
-
20About as bad as it gets?a thrill-less "Speed" wannabe.
-
20"Speed" with a thermometer, only a whole lot worse.
-
10As worthless a piece of garbage as we've seen this year.
