Leave your thoughts about The Formula.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzOnly Marlon Brando in a small role as a daffy oil tycoon gives the film some spark. |
| New York TimesJanet MaslinThe murder scene is littered with so many red herrings it might as well be a delicatessen. |
| Filmcritic.comPaul Brennerplays like a tedious checklist of murders without a score card. |
| User ReviewBruce BIn light of the current geo-political context, this film, while no intellectual breakthrough, is more relevant than ever. |
| User ReviewThayuni WThey did it back then. And they can do it now. However the Big Oil Companys don't want it. So much for getting independent from Foreign Oil. |
| User ReviewLuis Glearn the secret that oil companies do not want you to know |
| User ReviewBernard KGood story, excellent photography, good actors! |
| User ReviewDave RIt's very sluggish and often boring. Still, I admired its bitterly cynical conspiracy plot. This is one of the most angry films about American capitalism and the oil industry ever made. I don't want to oversell it since it's very clunky but it's much smarter, for example, than There Will Be Blood in its analysis of American life. |
| User ReviewRussell G5.5/10. Decent thriller, the great cast is a big help. It's a little long, but for the most part it held my interest, inspite of a few slow stretches. It came off as far fetched to me. Professionally made, it clearly had a decent budget. |
| User ReviewPeter Cgeorge c. scott growling at Nazis can't be all bad, and it certainly wasn't. there are several perfect scenes here of him doing just that. and marlon brando cheats his way through this movie, and still does well for himself acting-wise. on the whole, a goodish movie that should've been great had the plot mirrored what the poster hints at. |
