Baltimore Sun
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. - 50
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Neither (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. - 50
New York Post
A ho-hummer of a "Speed" knockoff that will leave most audiences cold. - 40
Chicago Reader
The stunt work is pretty good, the brain work close to nonexistent. - 40

Instantly disposable ...Gooding appears tobe losing the momentum of his Jerry Maguire Oscar win two years ago. - 38
USA Today
A substandard ebony-and-ivory buddy pic. - 30
Los Angeles Times
Melts swiftly...don't expect a shred of credibility. - 25
Entertainment Weekly
God-awful?Gooding screams out lines like ''I'm about to get in yo' ass like last year's underwear!''
