Watch Middle Men For Free

Truly Dreadful Film

Redundant and unnecessary.

best movie i've ever seen.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I should say that it is a dramatization due to the story is told to be 'inspired by true events'. But then again, despite whether the accuracy of said dramatization tallies the real life events or not, I still say it is a strong one for a film and a greatly executed in the movie. As a drama-comedy, the story can also build quite a strong suspense mood here and there, particularly at the later parts. All the important technicalities add up nicely, including the acting by the three bigger names of Luke Wilson, James Caan and especially Giovanni Ribisi. Also there is the nice touch of having Terry Crews in a character that's suitable for him, even for a shorter in-frame duration. For me the movie is a nice watch, despite the unhealthy grand theme of the adult entertainment world exposure.

This one was given the Distributor Bum's Rush by whoever makes those kind of decisions, but it deserves better. Every Character on Screen is really unlikable and not even that interesting. However, they are welcome Screen Sleaze, Criminals, Low-Lifes, Pornographers, and the best of the lot, a delusional "Middle Man" Fixer type that fancies Himself some sort of Hands-Off, Masturbatory outlet.Internet Ticket Taker/Porn Provider is what He becomes, all the while telling Himself, and the Viewer in an ongoing Voice-over, that He is an innocent Family Man of the Norman Rockwell persuasion. Talk about denial. This has an extremely derivative Movie Style that never makes any attempt to hide its Homage/Theft. Starting out as a Whacked Comedy it slowly moves to Neo-Noir territory and is better for it.The Crime Story mixed with Dark Comedy works the best and the Wild Slapstick and over Acting from the two Central Figures gets unwelcome every time they show up and show off. The Movie looks great and is mostly effective, but sometimes becomes disjointed with a lot of Subplots and a whole lot of Characters sliding in and out.Overall, not bad and worth a view if nothing New.

There are but a few fact-based films that are both funny, intriguing and intense and George Gallo's 'Middle Men' is one of them. Directed and cleverly written with an excellent mix of irony, dark humour, suspense and even enlightening one about the workings of internet commerce, the film is one of the best of its kind. I only came across this movie by chance and hadn't heard of it before which had me wondering why this movie, which had quite a noticeable cast, received little attention while trash like 'Hall Pass' and all those abysmal Jonah Hill and Seth Rogan films get thrown at our faces.I was quite put off when I saw 'Middle Men' being described as 'Goodfellas' meets 'Boogie Nights'. I personally find it annoying when a movie is described using other films but I'm glad I went ahead with it anyway. Just to make it clear, it isn't anything like 'Goodfellas' except that it has gangsters and with the exception of the porn theme, it isn't like 'Boogie Nights' either. It's quite different from those two films.The execution of 'Middle Men' is quite solid. The editing (and pacing), cinematography, score, lighting and visuals are very effective.The cast is first rate. Who said that Luke Wilson can only play 'nice guy' type characters? He proves that he can do more than that and plays Jack Harris with ease. Gabriel Macht and Giovanni Ribisi are a riot. They're perhaps at their funniest here playing two educated idiots. James Caan plays a different kind of gangster (compared to what he's played before) and he's already an expert in that. Jacinda Barrett is charming in a smaller role as Harris's wife. Kelsey Grammar has only one scene and he does it superbly.'Middle Men' is refreshing, wickedly funny and entertaining. I'm glad that I gave it a chance as it's become a favourite among films of this genre.

I don't watch many movies, maybe ten new ones a year for the last fifteen years, and this one is, in my humble opinion, is among the top three I have seen in all that time. I am amazed, that this movie has not been more popular. In fact Before seeing the ad for it on Netflix I had never even heard of it! The only reason I saw it was because every time I went to Netfilx it was being offered in the "Watch Instantly" section and the artwork for the movie had caught my eye several times. The acting is SUPERB. The story moves along at a perfect pace, it doesn't bog down the viewer with unimportant minutia like a lot of movies do yet it's easy to follow for a movie that has a lot of story to tell (about ten years worth!) in a short amount of space. There were no gratuitous violence or sex, in fact the brief amounts of both are vital to the plot. There isn't even a lot of cuss words! Not near as much as your average R rated flick today. I truly believe this movie will garner its proper respect and find it's place among such greats as "Boogie Nights" and "The Big Lebowski". I have six words of advice for anyone contemplating viewing this flick: See it, see IT, SEE IT!! You will not regret it.
