Review of Formula 51

Formula 51 (2001)
7/10
Funny Combination of US and UK Humor
26 January 2003
I liked this film - it's a funny combination of US action comedy with British gangster film. The mix works. For example, having gone the non-British drive-on-the-'Right'-side (left) experience, the car race in the Liverpool streets caused me one of the best laughs in recent years. There are more reasons for satisfaction in this film, like the good acting of Samuel Jackson and Robert Carlyle, Emily Mortimer - so sexy that the next Bond girls auditions should have a look at her, and the English slang and football (the real one!) humor. Sure, the film is problematic for the soft approach to drugs, but it's still a refreshing comedy worth watching. 7/10 on my personal scale.
