Synopsis:
"Most likely to succeed." They`re the least likely words you`ll find below old yearbook photos of ice cream deliveryman Arlo (Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding, Jr.) and convenience-store clerk Tim (Skeet Ulrich). But now this loose-fitting duo must succeed at any cost. A dying scientist (David Paymer) has plopped into their hand a bioweapon canister code-named Elvis and told them to speed it to a military base. Buckle up, fellas. The same assassins who dealt the scientist his deathblow will do anything to claim Elvis. And if the canister heats up to its 50-degree activation point, Elvis will claim everyone within hundreds of miles.
Action. Suspense. Laughs. Ice cream trucks. Runaway skiffs. All are comin` at ya in this exciting and suspenseful buddy thriller fueled by one breakneck principle: chill... or be chilled.

Your Opinions and Comments
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs at all and the picture is crystal clear. The special effects are really nice, plus you get a lot of shots of the American desert and forests, which are all spectacular.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is good. The surrounds are used nicely and the numerous chase scenes are great on the ear.
The menus are all animated with sound and look great.
The extras include an extensive behind the scenes visual effects presentation (which brilliantly covers most of the special effects in the movie), some interviews and production notes. All in all, the extras are very good.
Bottom line - a good thriller with some great looking special effects shots. Oh yeah, instead of pop corn, get some ice cream for this movie. :)
