4.0 out of 5 stars One of Jackson;s best Nov 30 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a movie worthy of fans of Guy Richie's Snatch and Two Smoking Barrels. Robert Carlyle and S.L. Jackson excel at playing off each other. One kilt and an umbrella up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Elmo's In The House! April 23 2003
Format:DVD
Not bad. This ultra-violent and ultra-profane action comedy does provide quite a good dose of laughs, thrills and golf. I was shocked when this film was yanked from the local theaters after only one week of playing; so when I saw it on the shelf at the video store, I grabbed it as quickly as I could. I was quite pleased with the result. The film plays out much like a Guy Ritchie-Quentin Tarantino crime caper with the music and editing of a John Woo Hong Kong superaction film. Highly entertaining and much better than I ever expected. Although the witty dialogue helps beef up the shoddy plot lines, it's Jackson's presence that gives this film its credibility. Samuel L. Jackson is, and continues to be, one of the greatest actors in our generation...and its because he carries movies like this one. You gotta love a movie where Jackson's character is one part Mace Windu, one part Jules Winfield and one part Tiger Woods.

3.0 out of 5 stars This is flaky humor! Mar 22 2003
By Arish
Format:DVD
I didn't really laugh a whole lot through this film. I thought Samuel jackson could have been more raw in his performance. This is far from a return of "Odell or Jewels!" In my open this was more like a British comedy with Sam stuck in the middle. Basically he has a drug called "Formula 51". Which is like the new drug for Ravers and club goer's. Basically it is like extascy but 51 time stronger supposidly. And he wants 20 million to give this formula to others. So you have all these (Quirky) drug Lords trying to negotiate with him. And basically it isn't anything but a bunch of over the counter drugs mixed together. In the beginning he was arrested and that is why he is so bitter and trying to make up for the charade. Like I said this is just O.K nothing to run home and tell momma about! The best feature in this is the "Hit Woman" she was really attractive. I wish the film was based on her.

3.0 out of 5 stars Formula 51
A qiute good offbeat film that unfortunately misses the mark.
For a start a large number of Americans will not get the irony of the film. Read more

I haven't laughed so hard in a long while. This is a great movie. Sam Jackson and Robert Carlyle are brilliant. Lots of action and laughs. Well worth a watch. :)

1.0 out of 5 stars Formula Movie
Join two cool, hip stars like Samuel L. Jackson and Robert Carlyle, add a bland and oh-so-edgy direction, a couple of jokes and visual effects. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a waste of time at least
This movie was good to start out, muddled in the middle, and a small recovery at the end. Samuel Jackson does well, Robert Carlyle is awesome, and Emily Mortimer is great. Read more

This film sleeps with the fishes. I couldn't even finish it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Can Samuel L. & Carlyle overcome Yu's awful direction?
"Formula 51" was fitful to watch. I blame the dreadful directing by Ronny Yu. The opening sequence (after the pitiful pandering to 60s/70s drug culture in the prologue) has... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars outrageous and fun
the beginning is hilarious with JAckson getting pulled over by the cop and he has his afro. Robert Carlyle is crazy and fun to watch as Felix. Emily Mortimor is sexy and deadly. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Formulaic 51
A movie that never lives up to its potential, FORMULA 51 seems more like an exercise in filmaking or B-Movie than a major release. Read more
