   The movie is no help. Since "The Formula" is intended as a thriller, its completely muddled plot is a disaster: There can be no joy in unraveling a plot that is a mystery even to itself. The movie's based on Steve Shagan 's best-selling novel of a few years ago, which began with the premise that the Nazis discovered a cheap formula for ...

   What if 'the formula' had only been made from an old Hollywood formula?

As it stands, it's so thoroughly baffling that the audience finds itself asking, not only who-did-it, but what they did, and who they were. The movie is no help.

    Odd, talky, convoluted, but worthwhile. Released in 1980, "The Formula" is a star-studded crime/thriller about a Los Angeles detective (George C. Scott) who investigates the murder of his friend, a retired cop, which leads to Germany and a Nazi formula for synthetic fuel that big oil naturally wants to suppress at all costs.
