2. Summary

   Very Good 3.5

   Wayne Beering and Buck Dolby stumble on something big. Internet billing for the porn industry. Problem is that Wayne and Buck were two bumbling dudes, it quickly became evident to everyone around that they were in way over their heads. Enter Luke Wilson. With his saavy knack for business and ability to fix all kinds of problems, things were about to take off. But remember, this is the porn industry, so even keeled Luke soon gets mired in the world of the mob, money, porn-stars, murder, and some really crazy dudes. Middle Men is a fast paced drama that really helps you feel the whirlwind of this hockey-sticking business. So many back-stabbing players, crazy personalities, and high-flying lives to deal with. The result is an extremely entertaining and great story.

4. Acting

   Great 4.0

   Lots of great acting in this movie: Luke Wilson is really great as the center of it all – Luke Wilson. Giovanni Ribisi is outstanding as the coked-out Jerry Haggerty, Jaames Caan fits perfectly as the Vegas wheeler-dealer lawyer Jerry Haggerty. Kevin Pollak – short role as a shrewd FBI agent. Laura Ramsey as the porn starlet; Jacinda Barrett as the scorned Texas wife Diana Harris, and Rade Serbedzija as the Russion Mob leader Nikita Sokoloff. Also a cameo by Kelsey Grammer as a ‘caught red-handed’ politician.
