Midas

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
