Review of Middle Men (2009) by Leonel L — 23 Mar 2011

Cast: Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi, Gabriel Macht, James Caan, Jacinda Barrett, Kevin Pollak, Laura Ramsey, Rade Serbedzija, Terry Crews, Kelsey Grammer.

Director: George Gallo.

Summary: After spotting a big financial opportunity in the future of Internet pornography, straightlaced entrepreneur Jack Harris (Luke Wilson) enlists his pals Buck (Gabriel Macht) and Wayne (Giovanni Ribisi) to help him develop an online billing company specializing in adult entertainment. But as the firm takes off, Jack finds some unexpected kinks in the business of kink -- including mobsters, the FBI, con men and terrorists.

My Thoughts: "This is one of those films I went into without knowing nothing about it, just that it had a couple of my fav. actor's in it, that being Giovanni Ribisi and Luke Wilson. If they were not in this film and I had known what the film was about, I would have passed on it. I really could care less how porn came to be on the internet. But in the end it was a pretty good business flick. I was surprised at how well written and directed it was. Great performances from Luke and Giovanni. Like most great independent flicks, this one too got an unfortunate small screening. Which is a shame since so much crap gets shown in so many more theaters then independent films do. Great movie with comedy, drama, and I believe is a bit of a true story. Definitely recommended.".
