Midas

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!

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 film was surprisingly good! I loved the story and plot. To bring about topics like the unfairness in the healthcare industry and combine this with the heist genre in a new, cool and enticing way was exciting to see.

The main actor is what really drives this story. As a viewer, you really felt the complexities and the intense moments build throughout his performance, with a dose of charm added to it!

The supporting cast as well has a great chemistry overall that really makes you root for this trio in spite of the crazy situations they're putting themselves into.

Overall, while the script could use a few more tweaks, the leading actor and supporting characters do a great job in bringing this heist film to life! Definitely worth a watch!

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 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.
