The Formula (1980)

 A police lieutenant investigating a murder finds that it is linked with a race for the possession of a secret formula for the production of a synthetic fuel from coal.

This monotonous thriller has a few plot holes and is apparently based on a false premise: the technology for synthetic fuel already exists and is of public knowledge: Synthetic fuel - Wikipedia. The film has some interesting dialogue and competent actors, but is not otherwise engaging or convincing.

Rating: 34
