Movie Review

Grade: C- Every time Samuel L. Jackson does a good movie, he turns around and does something like "Formula 51," also known as "The 51st State" in other parts of the world. Jackson co-stars with Carlyle, who seems to have lost his comedic timing from the good old days of "The Full Monty." Read the full movie review
