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.

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.

I am completely dazzled by Midas, a film that not only meets but exceeds the highest expectations of modern cinema and I mean that in full transparency.

At the heart of this cinematic marvel is Laquan Copeland, who delivers an astounding performance as Ricky. Copeland's portrayal is a masterclass in emotional depth and intensity, capturing the complexity of a man whose ambition can turn into his greatest downfall. His nuanced performance anchors the film and adds layers of gravitas to the already compelling narrative.

Preet Kaur's role as Suni is nothing short of mesmerizing. Kaur brings a powerful, emotional resonance to her character, portraying a woman caught in the crossfire of Ricky's ambitions and the ensuing chaos. Her performance is both delicate and fierce, perfectly balancing vulnerability with strength. Kaur's chemistry with Copeland creates an on-screen dynamic that is both electric and satisfying. My favorite scene would have to be the bathroom scene between the two.

Federico Parra shines as well, portraying Victor, Parra's portrayal adds a layer of moral ambiguity and depth to the film, making his character's journey both fascinating and a joy to watch. His subtle performance complements the film's thematic richness and provides a crucial counterpoint to Copeland's relentless ambitions.

Sullivan's direction is nothing short of visionary. His ability to blend the grandeur of health insurance agencies and the intrigue with the intimate struggles of the characters results in a film that is both grand in scope and deeply personal. The cinematography is striking, with every frame meticulously crafted to enhance the film's thematic depth and emotional impact. The use of color and light reflects the shifting moods of the characters and the dramatic evolution of the story, creating a visually stunning experience that is as compelling as it is beautiful.

The film's score also deserves praise with a strong opening at the beginning of the film.

Midas is more than just a film; with its sharp dialogue and thought-provoking themes, it keeps the audience engaged from start to finish. The film's pacing is flawless, weaving together intense action with moments of introspection and philosophical reflection.
