Movie Reviews of Formula 51
Movie Review: A.k.a. " 51st State" in the UK , either way this is rubbish.
Summary: 1 Stars
This is truly appalling. Name change alert, always a bad sign. I shudder to recall seeing this and only then because it featured scenes shot at Anfield, home of my beloved Liverpool Football Club. Even that recourse was denied me when it featured badly integrated shots of look-alikes prancing around in red shirts. I would have asked for my money back at Blockbuster if I hadn't had been so embarrassed to admit out loud to seeing it. The 'plot' features Samuel L Jackson wandering around Liverpool with Robert Carlyle in tow, trying to offload a supposed super drug while being chased by Meatloaf (!). Oh and slap in a bit of rave music and clubby footage that'll look good on the trailer. The review says it plays like "Tarantino on the Thames". You are having a laugh. For a start this is set a good 200+ miles away geographically, and light years from even the worst of the big chinned one's work. I am cringing at the adverts in the press for this as it does British film and film-makers a tremendous disservice. Assume the other reviewers must be in the pay of the Production office trying to sucker the uninformed into parting with their cash; trust me this is embarrassingly bad. The Mr Creosote ending just adds to the question how and why this got off the back of the beermat it was scribbled on. Not one for the filmography for all involved and not one for your collection.
