Formula 51 (2001)
6/10
A decent enough (knock off) thanks to Samuel Jackson
10 October 2014
This wasn't as bad as I was expecting. It is still a complete Guy Richie knock off but Samuel Jackson is always a good time and his fish out of water -American chemist in Liverpool was pretty fun. (As was watching him rock the kilt for an entire movie) I also liked Robert Carlyle & Rhys Ifans, and they saved this from being unwatchable (Meat Loaf).

Jackson plays a disgraced pharmacist (the opening scene is classic) who travels to England to sell a potent new street drug he's invented. His plans for a quick score go awry however and he gets stuck in Liverpool with an unlikely escort, an ex-girlfriend assassin and lots of double dealing.

Some funny situations and as with all Guy Richie films oops ---rip offs there are a web of story lines and bizarre characters involved. Closing scene is Jackson in all his glory! Awesome LOL 5.09.14
