Midas

This move had a very interesting plot. Love that it was filmed in the smaller city of Hartford, and featured small local restaurants. The characters were relatable and diverse. The storyline was a more modern and realistic twist on a heist/suspense type film. This film also didn't miss on some comedic relief. There was great chemistry between the group and the actual heist itself is gripping, well thought out, clever, and tense. Really entertaining film, never a dull moment. Overall, I would recommend this movie to others and think it has great potential to perform better than larger feature films.

I loved this movie!

I was laughing and nervous from where it was about to drift to next! Literally on the edge of my seat rooting for the three friends not get caught.

It was funny, thrilling and moving all in one, but I really want to highlight the score in this film. The music really is a hidden character in this project as it elevates the film to new heights.

Moments where the stakes are risen, the score instantly increases heightening the feels of the movie. I really can't stress that enough in watching multiple films with a bad score. Love it, love it love it. Can't wait to have another watch party and rewatch Midas all over again, y'all just might need a sequel!

Seems all the bogus / paid high reviews keep reporting all the honest low ones for deletion. It speaks volumes when the filmmakers don't even have faith in their own production to resort to such blatant tactics trying to trick viewers into watching this nonsense. Writer / director TJ Noel-Sullivan should maybe take the money he's paying for these bogus reviews and put it towards film school. So I suggest y'all keep checking back to make sure yours isn't gone and downvote all the bogus high ones.

Original post: This was laughably bad. A fifth grade drama class could write, produce, direct and act better than this time wasting production. Think of the worst "made for TV" movie you've seen, and this is much worse.

The lead actor was unbelievable and annoying. Then you have an ending that felt like everyone just gave up. It had had no value at all. It was as if the writers got stumped and just quickly wrapped it up with an ending that made no sense. It ends with the main character learning nothing from the experience and goes on through his life as a shady character, constantly trying to convince his friends to risk it all for him.

There were many other details and plot holes that just didn't make sense. It's just sloppy writing and directing, and I'm baffled how they even got the funding to make this nonsense.

I recently watched Midas, and I was blown away. It's more than just a movie; it's a love letter to Hartford. I've lived here my whole life, and I've never seen the city portrayed so beautifully on screen. Every shot, every frame, captures the city's unique charm, from the bustling streets to the quiet neighborhoods.

The story follows Ricky, a charismatic and ambitious young man who gets caught up in a world of insurance fraud. Laquan Copeland absolutely shines as Ricky, bringing a raw energy and vulnerability to the role. The supporting cast, especially Preet Kaur and Erik Bloomquist, are equally impressive.

While the film does have a few pacing issues, the heist sequences are thrilling and suspenseful. But it's the quieter moments, the character-driven scenes, that really stick with you.

Midas is a fresh take on the heist genre. It's not just about the crime; it's about the people, the city, and the power of community. It's a film that makes you proud to be from Hartford.

Midas is a total surprise! I wasn't expecting much going in, but this movie is a total blast. It's got a great mix of humor, suspense, and a bit of heart. Laquan Copeland is a total star as Ricky, the charismatic and charming lead. The supporting cast is great too.

The plot is clever and keeps you guessing, and the pace is perfect. It's a fun, fast-paced ride that's easy to get swept up in. I loved the way the movie blends elements of heist, comedy, and drama. It's a fresh take on the genre, and it's clear that the filmmakers had a lot of fun making it.

Visually, the movie is stunning. The cinematography is beautiful, and the production design is top-notch. The score is also excellent, adding to the suspense and excitement of the film.

Overall, Midas is a fantastic movie that I highly recommend. It's a fun, entertaining, and thought-provoking film that will stay with you.
