Middle Men (2009)

FILM4, 11.35PM ★★★

Goodfellas meets Boogie Nights in this account of a straight-arrow Texas businessman who in the Nineties helps set up the first paid internet porn site. George Gallo, who co-wrote and directed, is no Scorsese, and Luke Wilson, narrating, is no De Niro, but it’s an entertaining albeit sleazy ride, and Giovanni Ribisi and Gabriel Macht are a hoot as the two losers who stumble across the internet’s first big moneymaking scheme.
