Worth a watch
The 51st State is certainly no classic, but its funny and has a half-decent storyline. Being from the Liverpool area, I’m glad to see a film set there, even if it is about crime. Samuel L. Jackson is as cool as ever as kilt-wearin’, drug-dealin’ Elmo McElroy, and Robert Carlyle is in good form as Felix DeSouza, desperately trying to get himself a cut in the deal. The use of Ricky Tomlinson, a very funny actor pretty much unknown to American audiences, was also a nice touch. I’m very much a believer that British comedy is (almost) always better than American. I always enjoy the inclusion of English words and slang, and with Elmo not having a clue about English customs, such as the different language and the Mini Cooper, makes this film very funny. I’m not sure about Americans, but English people will appreciate the hilarity of the situation as Elmo and Felix run around Liverpool, with Elmo wanting his 20 million, and Felix just wanting to watch the Liverpool vs. Man Utd game! A clever twist at the end adds a bit of a philosophical side to the film, and shows The 51st State is more than just a few laughs.
Brilliant film. Funny, loud and outragous
The thing I like most about the 51st State is that it seems calculated to annoy pretentious idiots with their heads stuck up their own bottoms. It doesn’t take itself seriously at all, and is therefore a very good psychological device that can employed to weed out those people that do. I LOVE the fact that it’s an American style movie but that it takes place on English shores. Who on earth wrote the rule that if it’s British it needs to look crap, have bad acting, have laughable dialogue (Guy Ritchie) and generally be embarrassing to watch? We live in a global age, and The 51st State is very much a global movie appealing to people in whatever country they happen to be. Hence British writer. American Star. Hong Kong Director.AND IT’S A DAMN GOOD LAUGH. SEE IT!!!!
