Formula 51
Directed by: Ronny Yu
Starring: Samuel L Jackson, Robert Carlyle, Emily Mortimer, Rhys Ifans, Meat Loaf
This is one of those good date flicks. Lots of shoot 'em action for the guys
and some laughs for the girls.
Samuel L. Jackson is superb as the man, Elmo Mc Elroy, in the kilt with the
formula for the best new drug in town and everyone wants him for his recipe.
Things get out of control when he shows up in Liverpool to sell his secret.
It was great to see Robert Carlye, from Full Monty, in this movie. He was
fabulous as the good guy thug who just wants to get tickets to the soccer
match.
All I could think about whilst watching Emily Mortimer who plays the hired
killer, is, "does she ever eat anything?" This gal was too skinny to be a
hired killer. I'm not sure that she would be able to lift a rifle in real
life. She was great in her role, but needs some meat on her bones before she
blows away.
Lots of action, blood and laughs for everyone.
