"Middle Men"

Luke Wilson stars in this movie based on a true story. I had to remind myself that several times while watching this one. Wilson plays a family man who has a knack for negotiating for parties at loggerheads. Then, one day he falls into a deal that's too good to be true. He meets a couple of total knuckleheads who, believe it or not, basically invent internet porn. But that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Until then, no-one had thought of a way to use credit cards on the internet! Before you know it, they'e all rolling in dough. However, as luck would have it, the two knuckleheads he represents get involved with the Russian mafia. As you can imagine, things get pretty dicey. Again, it was hard to believe this is based on a true story. You just can't make up stuff this god!
4 out of 5 stars
