Summary

Released in 1980, The Formula is a crime and thriller film.

Only 35 of its IMDb reviewers are calibrated, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 36 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 2 of whom clear the calibration test. 3,140 other films from the 1980s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
