A story of the Russian Mob and Porn, but tasteful. - a review of Middle Men

So I'm going to be very brief with this review.

I really enjoyed this film. It is your standard guy gets in too deep with the mob but it has some twists such as being from the perspective of the straight man not the crazies. and has the side angle of being based on the true story of how the internet really started. The story is entertaining, the characters are likable and or interesting and there are some great performances from all of the actors here. There are some cool plot points and for the most part a good chunk of the movie isn't all that predictable. The ending does feel a little Hollywood but not everything can be The Dark Knight. Check it out. Oh yeah, on top of being a drama, it's also really funny and will have you laughing for your money.


Overall, see this movie, a strong effort. Certainly a B+ and worth seeing. Do you NEED to see it in theaters? No. Will it be the best movie that came out this week that you'll see? Yeah. Yeah it will.
