The 51st State

27 June, 2008 by Neuschwanstein

Someone as smart as a master chemist should know better, but Elmo McElroy (Samuel L. Jackson) just can’t leave the darker side of chemistry when it comes to making a quick buck. His “Formula 51″ is so much more powerful and thrill fulfilling than any other street drug available so he heads to England hoping to make a fortune and then quickly remove himself from the drug business. When he finds himself hooked up with Felix DeSousa (Robert Carlyle) and his ex-girlfriend, his hopes of all of this working out easily seem to disolve right before his eyes. Before long, Elmo wishes he had just stuck to legal chemistry and never searched for the big score.

Elmo McElroy (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 (Carlyle) and his ex-girlfriend (Mortimer) and becomes entangled in a bizarre web of double-dealing and double-crosses.
