The 51st State (2001) — Samuel L. Jackson in a skirt?

Deskripsi:

BlackTree Media presents The 51st State (also known as Formula 51), a stylish, off‑beat crime thriller that pairs Samuel L. Jackson at peak swagger with British star Robert Carlyle in a transatlantic clash of crime, chemistry, and chaos. Samuel L. Jackson stars as Elmo McElroy, a brilliant but unhinged American chemist who arrives in Liverpool to sell a new designer drug he claims is “51 times more powerful than heroin.” Teaming up (and frequently clashing) with local small‑time dealer Felix DeSouza (Robert Carlyle), Elmo quickly finds himself hunted by gangsters, assassins, and law enforcement. As deals fall apart and bodies pile up, the film becomes a fast‑talking, fast‑moving ride through the criminal underworld — powered by Jackson’s larger‑than‑life performance and razor‑sharp dialogue.
