Our film storyline revolves around drug deals, gang leaders
and traitors. Making it a crime film. I looked for similar films, ‘The 51st
State’ or 'Forumla 51', (Director Ronny Yu, 7th December 2001), roughly follows the
same idea. It follows the life of an American master chemist who plans to score
big on a once in a lifetime drug deal. Of course the film needs a story and
drama, so it unsurprisingly doesn’t go as planned. This puts the chemist in a
lot of trouble, including financial trouble. This is a similar film in that it
revolves around a drug deal gone wrong which is what our film is also about,
the beginning of our storyline is the drug deal going sour. Which sets the
premise for the rest of the film, which is exactly what happens in the film “The
51st State’. The reviews are not good for the film, receiving a
23/100 from Metacritic.com, this might be a problem as it shows that our
formula for a film has been tried and tested with it failing. The film also has an average of 4.1/10 on Rotton Tomatoes.
The film doesn’t
contain well thought out stunts or car chases, which really brought the film’s
ratings down, our film would have these components/microcomponents, as they are
a signature trademark of crime films.
