Threat advisory: Elevated - Significant risk of entertaining activities

Movie propaganda

Nice wheels. Dirty deals. And one mean mother in a kilt.

Elmo McElroy (Samuel L Jackson) is a streetwise American master chemist who heads to England to sell his special new formula - a powerful, blue concoction guaranteed to take you to "The 51st State". McElroy's new product delivers a feeling 51 times more powerful than any thrill, any pleasure, any high in history. But his plans for a quick, profitable score go comically awry when he gets stuck in Liverpool with an unlikely escort, Felix DeSouza (Robert Carlyle), and his ex-girlfriend, Dakota (Emily Mortimer), and becomes entangled in a bizarre web of double-dealing and double-crosses.

Theatrical report

Samuel L "Motherfucker" Jackson. And some lowbrow British criminal wannabes. Formula 51 is all a bit over the top but lots of fun if you're for mindless violence and drugs.
