The Middle Men

[claireaperez · 9/10 · 1 March 2021]

The Middle Men takes the viewer on a trip through what can only be described as shock and confusion as two teenagers enter the world of adulthood. and things aren't exactly as they seem. The acting is very good and the music and action keep the viewer engaged. The production is excellent for a zero budget movie. Would love to see what this team could do with a little money and perhaps bringing a historical story to the big screen. All the best! See you at future movies!

Very Enjoyable Flick

[pauli-87448 · 9/10 · 20 February 2021]

The dedication and work ethic for this first offering from Jack Nicoletti and Samuel Castellino shines through in this clever, well created film. Good plot and actors with excellent results on a shoe string budget. I especially appreciated the humorous moments that were so naturally woven into the story. I think there is a very natural talent for that sort of scripting from these young writers.

It just the beginning

The first project with all young raw talent was impressive . You can see the attention to detail in production and acting skills. I was impressed with the transitions and editing. The collaboration with all involved showed and was refreshing. Good luck on your future endeavors. Keep us posted on future projects

Worth a Watch

[jacobplikesmusic-05798 · 6/10 · 20 February 2021]

All things considered, I thought this was a film that had some good ideas, and the final product came out as a worthwhile project. Obviously, there are things about it which reflect its (lack of) budget and experience behind it, but its still admirable, and if you like a crime film à la Tarantino or some of the Soderbergh pictures like Out of Sight, its not a bad way to spend 50 minutes at all.

This is an awesome movie!

A great 1st full length feature from Jack Nicoletti and Samuel...the story was believable and all the the actors were superb in their character portrayals. Noteworthy, is the clever use of " flashbacks" interwoven with the real time action sequences. A very entertaining movie to watch! Looking forward to their next project!

For the love of film!

[bddhkud · 10/10 · 20 February 2021]

This film was an enjoyable homage to gritty caper movies from the last 40 years. The dialogue was snappy and the editing kept the action at a brisk pace. Loved the snippets of classic tv and music that provided a retro feel with a very modern vibe. A bright future for writer/director Jack Nicoletti!

Audio is a problem

[nyancatforeverd · 3/10 · 21 February 2021]

The audio quality is poor and distracting. Series in the car in which the characters are discussing Elvis, is racially insensitive and uncomfortable. Subtitles would be appreciated, hard to watch.

Well done!

Such an impressive job from two 17 year old filmmakers!

[nickcast-44120 · 10/10 · 20 February 2021]

So Good!!

[mckennaprochaska · 10/10 · 20 February 2021]

It was awesome to see where this started to what it has become! It shows through the movie how much time and effort was put into this! I hope to see more from Jack Nicoletti in the future!

An impressive debut feature

[jimmymoutsos-77308 · 8/10 · 21 February 2021]

A really enjoyable and breezy 50 min watch that's perfect for anyone looking to support some up and coming filmmakers! Considering the pretty remarkable feat that Nicoletti and his crew were able to pull off making this movie with a zero dollar budget and rounding up friends, family members, and even strangers to act in this movie, and for it to turn out as good as it is, the film is totally worth a watch. Not just as a source of entertainment, but as inspiration for filmmakers and all kinds of artists alike to continue creating what they love.
