Formula 51 (2001)
9/10
Superb
24 July 2019
The pre-story is a bit weak and either poorly lighted and/or shot in a studio, but from the moment the film moves to the present day, it shifts into top gear and stays there. Jackson, Carlyle and later, Mortimer have a great synergy from the off, Ricky Tomlinson is average and Rhys Ifan is, well, Rhys Ifan! Sean Pertwee devours every second of the time he's on screen and none of the supporting cast let the side down

The film moves along at a cracking pace, the obligatory car chase well filmed mixing tension with humour (the explanation of 'bollocks' vs. 'dogs bollocks' is worth a mention).

Well worth a watch, even after all this (2019) time.
