    I saw Formula 51 last night

    Too much gratuitous violence and language and not enough plot for me to call it a good movie, but Samuel L. Jackson's character was pretty good. I really liked the scene on the plane where that kid kept staring at his kilt and he gave him that "you got a problem, shorty" look

    Yeah, definitely not an Oscar winner, but for what it is, it's great! The only beef I have with the movie is that Macelroy is a sept of Clan Grant, not Clan MacGillvray. I would've loved to have seen the Grant tartan on the big screen. Though the MacGillvray Hunting is a very nice tartan.

    I have not seen it but i love the tag line:

    Nice Wheels. Dirty Deals. And One Mean Mother In A Kilt.

    One of the more fun moments of the film is where some cops are trying to catch Sam Jackson at the airport. They as for a description and in a condesending tone a cop rails saying "It's a black man in a dress!" As soon as he says that the plane deboards and there is a gigantic herd of black men wearing various ethnic outfits from Africa that feature no pants! Fun moment.
