64th Worst Movie: Chill Factor

What a surprise, yet another movie on the list that Cuba Gooding Jr. is in. So far it has been Boat Trip and this one but I still feel like he is the worst actor out of all the movies I have watched. What is with his high pitched voice? I have heard it be low and normal but it seems like in these past two movies he cannot reach a normal range.

So there were two major things that were wrong with this movie. 1.) Most of the script required the actors to see “Whoo hoo!” or “Oh Shit” and 2.) It was unbelievable (not like the song “You’re Unbelievable” where it is meant in a good way, but unbelievable as in I did not for one second believe that what was happening in the movie could happen. Usually that latter can be a good thing because it causes you to use your imagination. In this case, however, it was just plain stupid because it was like they were trying to stretch the rubber band until it was no longer stretchable (and rubber bands are stretchy!). On top of all that, as if it was not bad enough, I think the movie was supposed to be considered an action movie but usually in a good action movie you will see normal people doing extraordinary things. In this movie, you see normal people doing extraordinarily stupid things; like climbing on the side of a truck while it is moving to do absolutely nothing except get the crap kicked out of them.

I just love how I have stopped giving the premises of the movies and go straight into bashing them. Anyone who reads these are probably thinking,” I don’t even know what this movie is about but I already hate it!”. Well good! That is what I want you to think…
