Synopsis
Formula 51 is the story of Elmo McElroy (Samuel L. Jackson), 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 (Robert Carlyle) and his ex-girlfriend (Emily Mortimer) and becomes entangled in a bizarre web of double-dealing and double-crosses.
The movie's official tagline is "Nice Wheels. Dirty Deals. And One Mean Mother In A Kilt!" but I like to simply think of it as "Snatch meets Shaft", and if that doesn't sound sweet enough, simply check out the trailer below.
