Movie #212 - Formula 51

Formula 51
2001 - Rated R - 1 hr 32 min
Director: Ronny Yu
Starring: Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Carlyle, Emily Mortimer, Meat Loaf

Did you know Meat Loaf's last name is Aday?  So... a Meat Loaf Aday keeps the doctor away?  I can't be the first person to think of that.  I really hope he gets that joke all the time.  Too good to pass up.

In any case, he features prominently as the bad guy in this movie.  A caftan-wearing bad guy, too. Poor form, Meatie, poor form.  (Do you think that's his nickname? Meatie?)

This is a fun one. Who doesn't love Samuel L. Jackson in a kilt? The premise is interesting, culminating with a nice twist ending, and made much more lively by a couple of Brits.  Yeah, it's the guy from The Full Monty. Woo!

Did this enrich my life? Was I better for watching it? Maybe not. But it's a good time. End of story.
