Movie Reviews of Formula 51
Movie Review: Pretty Good!
Summary: 3 Stars
For those who like straight up action with a bit of sarcastic humor and a fast edge then this movie is for you. This actually reminded me of a poor mans "Snatch" with more action. Some of the camera angles and camera scenes brought "Snatch" to mind with a harder edge. Loved it. The only downfall, is Meatloaf as the Lizard. I think John Malkovich would have played a much, much better villain (See Con Air, In the Line of Fire, Knockaround Guys) who was actually believable. However, action is what keeps my attention and keeps me awake. Besides, there were no real dull moments throughout the movie and it moved at a fast pace.Movie Review: Enjoyable, but don't expect too much
Summary: 3 Stars
This film does take a lot from Guy Ritchie's style, but it's not exactly the same. It also reminds me of "True Romance". I think this movie also goes a little bit more towards "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas". The basic story is the staging of a drugdeal for the formula of a superdrug. This keeps going wrong due to all the schemes the main characters are involved in. I found this an amusing film. Don't expect anything truly original, but there certainly are memorable performances and characters. If you like something that's a bit off the wall with a lot of action go see his. Don't expect it to be the next great thing though.Movie Review: lightning paced testosterone fueled action comedy
Summary: 3 Stars
If you like movies like "Snatch" and "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," you should love "Formula 51. Multiple sets of bad guys chasing after the secret drug formula in Samuel L. Jackson's head. The story takes off quick and only slows down for a brief, tacked on romantic subplot with two of the supporting characters. Don't forget to pause your dvd player if the phone rings or you'll miss a good chunk of the action. Samuel L. Jackson is so cool in this flick, that the kilt(which isn't explained until the final credits roll) adds to his manliness.Movie Review: Good for an evening's entertainment.
Summary: 3 Stars
This movie was really fun. It may have been hard to keep up with for some folks that like a lot of action with not many plot twists (ie van damme, segal) but if you like a movie to keep you guessing about who the bad guy is right up to the end, you'll enjoy it. I only can give it 3 stars though, since it's obviously a long way from a 5, and then there are so many better films that would be 4's. I'd give it a 6 1/2 on a scale of 1-10. Good for an evening's entertainment!Movie Review: Oddly I liked this movie...
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm not one for drug-related movies, but I had to check this one out when learning Paul Barber (aka "Horse" from "The Full Monty") starred in the movie. His part is sadly short, but comical. The language is a bit rough, but it fits well with the movie. Jackson did a good job in this, I believe, being the kind of movie it was. Give it a watch and see what you think.
