Entertainment Reviews:
But the glib, gimmicky narration (i.e., the aforementioned "a better way for guys to jack off"-yawn), delivered in Wilson's vegetative monotone, leaves the film lumpy and uneven and often dull.

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
Rating: 2/4 --
Middle Men is an anxious film, but not in a good way, in that it doesn't generate suspense so much as dread.

Rating: 3/4 --
This very well-acted, often amusing and dirty-minded hard-R film still stands out in a sea of market-driven blandness.

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.

3 stars out of 4 -- Inspired by real people and events, MIDDLE MEN is a dark comedy about the origins of Internet porn....Wilson gives a mature, subtle performance...

Rating: B- --
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.

Product Description:
Like BOOGIE NIGHTS for the internet age, MIDDLE MEN is a comic look at the origins of the porn boom on the web. The oh-so-prescient Jack sees dollar signs when he imagines the combination of the newly popular internet and the pornography industry, and he starts a lucrative business. But while Jack just wants to hold on to his normal life, he finds his existence invaded by F.B.I. agents, terrorists, and the Russian mob. MIDDLE MEN stars Luke Wilson, Giovanni Ribisi, James Caan, Gabriel Macht, and Peter Stormare.
