Holding up the Wall

Formula 51

Does anyone else think Samuel L. Jackson is one of the coolest guys in the world? Well I do. And he gets to show off in this tight tale of a professional narcotic chemist out to secure his retirement. The movie starts off with a bang (literaly) as someone gets shot, then a bunch of people get blown up. Those people just happen to be our hero(?)'s boss and his crime world buddies. Who would only have gotten in his way anyways. The way the explosion is triggered is really something worthy of McGuyver on a bad day. When they enter the room the chemicals start cooking; then the Lizard (evil boss guy) uses his cell phone to call our hero's cell phone. Which blows everyone up. So the Lizard's last words are captured on voice mail just before the explosion.

Explosions aside, F51 has much more to offer. Not the least of which are some of the wackiest characters ever assembled on one screen. There's Jackson's character (McElroy) who's just cool, the gangster (I think his name's Dennis) who's a rabid futball fan and almost as cool as McElroy. There's the hitgirl tracking McElroy (she also just happens to have a history with our loveable gangster Dennis), and a truly schitzo drug dealer who can't seem to find his center.

If you enjoyed any of Samuel L. Jackson's previous movies you'll like this one. It's sort of a cross between Snatch and Pulp Fiction. There's drugs, gangsters, people getting shot, bathtub shagging, soccer, and characters you'll truly care about. . .until you remember that they've all either killed people or directly contributed to the degradation of society. You should own it.
