Any of you ever seen this Samuel L. Jackson movie directed by Ronny Yu (Bride of Chucky, Freddy vs. Jason)? If so, what do you think of it? For you U.K. people, the movie has an alternate title of "The 51st State".

Leonard Maltin Movie Guide Review:

Formula 51 (2001) - 2.5 out of 4 stars

"Wild, tongue-in-cheek Hong Kong-style yarn loaded with action and violence. Jackson plays a pharmaceutical whiz who develops the ultimate narcotic, then double-crosses his L.A. connection (Meat Loaf) and flies to Liverpool to make a more lucrative deal there. Needless to say, things don't go smoothly. An indefensible guilty pleasure that offers no intellectual stimulus whatsoever. Mortimer is fun as a gun-toting motorcycle-riding hit woman. Jackson also coexecutive-produced. Original British title: THE 51ST STATE."
