   A detective (George C. Scott) investigates a Nazi-invented formula for synthetic fuel that oil companies want to suppress. The movie is a mess of plot holes, confusion and contradictions, but Brando and Scott shine in their roles.

   Is 'the formula' a good movie?

   • 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. 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.

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

   • One of the ironies of "The Formula" is that if it had only been made from an old Hollywood formula-any formula-we might have been able to understand it better. 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.
