Middle Men is a film starring Luke Wilson, it's about the porn industry in the US and how a group of people made a very lucrative business out of setting up and managing a payments network that facilitated subscribers to the various websites.
Good things about the film:
It rips along at a good pace.
It's a reasonably interesting topic.
James Caan is effective and hilariously evil.
Bad things about the film:
Luke Wilson's terrible Ray Liotta style voiceover
Luke Wilson's relationship with his wife, which makes no sense and is one of the least believable I've ever seen.
Questionable moralising throughout.
This is a strange film that got released at about three cinemas worldwide so far as I can tell. It's significantly better than most of the dross on the Sky website so is definitely worth a watch if you've got nothing better to do. There are also loads of cameos that are worth watching out for.
