...a film that can't make up its mind what it wants to be: a comedy, a melodrama, a crime thriller, or a documentary.

Trust me when I say there is too much story here for a film that runs just over 100 minutes.

If it weren't for James Caan's shyster Las Vegas lawyer, the whole, um, pornucopia would be a complete waste of time. Best to think of this as Middling Men.

Save yourself the trouble of watching it and just check out Goodfellas instead.

Kind of a mess.

Inspired by the reputed experiences of the film's producer, Middle Men casts its protagonist in a suspiciously flattering light... Fortunately Wilson brings enough dark and disreputable shades to the character for the film to work.

This very well-acted, often amusing and dirty-minded hard-R film still stands out in a sea of market-driven blandness.

I never got the feeling Gallo and company figured out how to compress and focus their stories.

Considering the naughty subject matter, Middle Men is a shockingly dull affair.
August 06, 2010
Mr. Gallo, for his part, is content to decorate a fairly conventional, intermittently entertaining crime chronicle with a bit of skin and a soupçon of pop sociology. There must be other ways to learn about pornography on the Internet.

Middle Men is an anxious film, but not in a good way, in that it doesn't generate suspense so much as dread.

Is Jack, who is patterned on a real-life character, sociopathic or just plain clueless? Gallo doesn't seem to care. He cares about parading before us lowlifes living the high life.
