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!

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.

Give the Director, Writers, Actors their 10's because MIDAS was an excellent film to watch!

Captivating, compelling and had me glued to the screen from start to finish. Starting with the cast, the lead actor, Ricky has the charisma of a Montgomery Clift. He brilliantly carries this film with his tenacity, wit and his tactful ability to interchange between comical and drama-filled moments so effortlessly.

Along with the co-stars. Suni and Vick- the relationship between these three really keeps you tuned into the entire film. I also loved the representation in highlighting different cultures and the diversity with Suni wearing this beautiful Sari in the ballroom scene.

The director did such a beautiful job shooting this film and highlighting the such beautiful shots of the city as well as some dynamic shots that I hadn't quite seen before in films such as this.

To conclude, Midas was an absolute joy to watch and I can't wait to watch it again!

I recently watched "Midas," and it's a pretty cool heist movie with a bit of a Robin Hood vibe. It's about this guy, Ricky, who's just trying to take care of his sick mom. He lands a job at a huge insurance company and quickly realizes how messed up the whole system is.

I mean, they're basically denying people life-saving treatments just to boost their profits. It's messed up. So, Ricky and his friends come up with this crazy plan to steal a bunch of money from the company. It's a long shot, but it's super exciting to watch them try to pull it off.

The best part is that it's not just about the heist. It's also about friendship, family, and doing what's right. You really root for these characters, even though they're breaking the law. It's a fun, fast-paced movie with a heart. If you like heist movies or just want a good time, definitely check it out.

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.
