Middle Men

In 1995, everyone had a VCR, music was sold in record stores, and the world-wide-web was a new found discovery. Businessman Jack Harris (Luke Wilson) had the perfect life - a beautiful family and a successful career fixing problem companies. And then he met Wayne Beering (Giovanni Ribisi) and Buck Dolby (Gabriel Macht), two genius but troubled men, who had invented the way adult entertainment is sold over the internet. When Jack agrees to help steer their business, he soon finds himself caught between a 23 year-old porn star and the FBI all the while becoming one of the wealthiest entrepreneurs of his time.

I was very surprised at how good this movie ended up being. I pretty much went in to it expecting it to just be an excuse for nudity and had a back up plan in case to bail and get another movie checked off my list. However, the nudity wasn't over the top considering that the movie is about pornography and the internet. The movie ended up being more about dealing with the mob and the feds and had some pretty enjoyable performances. Luke Wilson was his usual self where you find yourself laughing even though he is completely straight faced. His character was very believable and you found yourself rooting for him.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out. It is a surprisingly good watch.
