Middle Men is a 2009 American drama film directed by George Gallo and written by Gallo and Andy Weiss. The movie is based on the experiences of Christopher Mallick, who was previously associated with the Internet billing companies Paycom and ePassporte. Christopher Mallick has been accused of stealing millions of dollars from his customers at ePassporte to fund the creation of the film.
I don’t think that Luke Wilson gets a fair shake in movies as his brother Owen does. However Middle Men is not your typical Luke Wilson comedy and that’s not a bad thing. This film will keep you entertained and engaged from start to finish.
The cast is nothing to sneeze at with James Caan and Kevin Pollack and especially Giovanni Ribisi's performance as the coke'd up "Wayne Beering". His mannerism's and habit's were to say the least entertaining!!
If your home for the night and wanting to spend some time with an interesting movie that has a wildly interesting story line centered around the internet porn industry this is for you. Loved the soundtrack its great (I snagged several for my Spotify play lists). Pacing could use a little improvement, but all in all it was a good movie..
To me Middle Men was very underrated, and I would recommend it to all fan's of dark humor and pornography.
Check it out (watch the trailer above), I think you’ll like it ;))
