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.
Movie Review: Formula 51 is a Formula for Boredom and Foolishness
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me put it this way; the trailers for the movie were more exciting than the movie itself. Sam Jackson ripped off the entire world with this piece of crap. I cannot believe that he's that desperate for money, but it has become clear to me that he'll take ANY role, any time and place. He's the highest grossing star in Hollywood, but that's not because of the quality of his movies - it's because he accepts any script that comes his way and nickeled and dimed his way to the top of the heap. His limited range (mostly screams) is evidenced by his roles in "Long Kiss Goodnight,""Eve's Bayou,""The Negotiator,""New Jack City," "Pulp Fiction" and the bit part in Goodfellas." and many more. He's the same guy with a different hair piece.
I am not going to even attempt to explain how much of a story you can get about a chemist who people want to steal a formula from. The last time this was done was in "Darkman," but even that movie had SOME redeeming qualities. Not so for "Formula 51." Any time you see a black man wearing a kilt and carrying a golf club, you know you're venturing into some strange territory.
With the exception of "Evildead," "D.C. Cab" and the "Ernest Goes to ..." movies, this is the worst I've EVER seen. Don't rent it and surely don't buy it -- that is unless you've run out of kindling for the fireplace.
