Middle Men Audience Reviews

TinsHeadline Touches You
Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Daraeve Really liked the somewhat true story of two idiots who stumble on an early Internet cash cow through online porn payment processing. Luke Wilson does a great job as a man who tries to hold onto his moral code while working in adult entertainment. Giovanni Ribisi is utterly plausible as a substance abuser. Lots of other interesting cameos add to some great dark humor. Trying to figure out what's true versus exaggerated is tricky. The Russian mafia play a role that may or may not be true. The FBI play a part in the move that checks out. Thelead character seems a little good to be the at times. Probably because it's an autobiographical story. Still, self praise aside the story. Very enter ting nd ups along at a healthy pace. If you like dark humor and are interested in the early days of the web this is one to watch.Well worth watching.
knower_mobile A movie about family values, about vices and how people succumb to them, a movie about money and power and the fact that there's never "enough". A beautifully crafted piece of work that keeps you in pretty much throughout. Performance is great from Luke Wilson and the story goes seamless.One little, probably needless, piece of action that I didn't quite understand why it was there, is the confusion at the end with Russian mafia taking the wrong "thing", but it's probably just me and it's not that bad anyway.Definitely deserves more than the actual 6.7 it's got. Also recommend "Limitless" and "Fracture".
raj504 Aah! It had been a long time since i watched a movie like this one. I heard the name of the film somewhere and i checked it out on IMDb. I felt the plot damn interesting. Its about the guys who started the first pornography web site and the consequences they faced after it. I loved the plot and i downloaded the movie right away.This movie is something like "The Social Network". I am not comparing it with TSN, i was just telling that this film belongs to that type. It was totally interesting. This movie started off great and it never lost its pace from the beginning to the end. The narration was brilliant. The dialogues were just awesome. All the actors did a great job. I say this is one of the finest films i watched recently.This is a great film. I had a great time watching it. This film is not for everyone but still, it is worth giving it a try.
John Grey This movie really took me by surprise, it was way better than I expected. Narrated by the main character, Jack Harris, who does all he can to stay above the fray but get's in deeper than he bargained for. The characters are solid, convincing, story is great, gives you a good idea on the inner workings of deals made and ideas created inside the Internet porn industry at it's conception. It shows how the guys who started the first Internet payment methods started out, how they expanded, got in hot water more than once and how the Russian mob and usual vultures muscled and connived their way in once they saw what it was worth. There is the side story overshadowing the whole mess when the FBI takes notice. It is also pretty entertaining in the way of comedy, drama, nudity, it's got it all, a great compelling story to boot. It's got some great lessons and revelations about the inside dealings of the players it focuses on, I watched it twice, watch it, you'll like it.
