Midas

Let this be the start of my review by saying... I've never left a review before but this film has left me no choice! From beginning to end, MIDAS had me hooked as I'm watching these fresh faces in the industry go from innocent and comedic to a twist you wouldn't want to miss. It's almost hard not to spoil BUT This is a story that feels new and unpredictable which gets me excited at every turn of events! Ricky, which was played by Laquan Copeland! Really played the hell out of his role along with Herkamal Preet Kaur and Fredrico Parra! I hope to see more of these amazing actors in action soon! Until then I'll be watching MIDAS a few more times this week!

This movie is bad,

that being said, the story wasn't all bad, the actors and characters were aight (Main ones).

And then there was everything else, it looked fake, it felt fake and even smelled fake. If you had to make this movie with a high school degree in Eastern Europe with the same budget it would have been better.

If you replaced the racist white guy villain with deuce bigalow it would have been better.

Whoever wrote the main character, I hope it is based off of someone you knew, because it was painful o watch you throw away a nice cool lovely character into the dumpster. Make him smart of charismatic at least.

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!

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.
