The Middle of X

The Middle OF X shines a light on an overlooked group of people - upper class white people - and the genuine ups and downs that they encounter. In this day and age that might be very unpopular but kudos to the filmmakers for having the guts to make this movie.

The cast is in their mid to late 20's maybe early thirties. The plot is slow and boring. As a 40yo gen x'er I can say the youngest of us are 39/40. This movie is poorly written and poorly cast. This would be better delivered as a millennial movie since the cast fits that time period and the plot seems aimless like their generation. Don't waste your time.

Man what was i thinking watching this piece of emptiness !! no plot .. no script ... I literally went on a coma asking myself ..what was this movie is all about !! no clue .. The plot itself is far from original and the script is weak and unattached .. while the acting was emotionless ..

To be honest i just watched this movie to see "Nicky Whelan" at work .. that was it ... my misleading instinct lead me into this without even watching the trailer .. so it is my sacred duty to alarm everyone .. Not recommended.

I stumbled onto The Middle Of X because I love Colin Egglesfield and I am glad that I did.

Colins character "Mack" didn't move the needle for me during the movie. However when the movie ended (a very surprising moment) I realized that his character being the least interesting was probably intentional.

Theres a ton of dialogue in the movie, most of it was very real and intersting, the balance was a bit too obvious.

There are a lot of relatively unknown actors in this movie that I now want to see more of what they can do. Ronnie Gene Blevins and Josh Cooke in particular.

I'd like to see more from the writer/director Peter Skillman Odiorne also.

Bottom line is this movie was a breath of fresh air with a sincere message in a small indie wrapper.

A real story for once. No contrived characters serving up politically correct dialogue about the most absurd and sensational situations. Finally someone made a movie for people and situations that I can relate to - thank you!
