Show more >> The Minions of Midas is an interesting take on the classic thriller formula, but it doesn't quite hit the mark for me. The premise of a businessman being blackmailed is intriguing, and there are moments of genuine tension. However, the film sometimes gets lost in its own moral quandaries, leaving the pacing a bit uneven. The performances are solid, but I felt that the character development could have been deeper.

If you're in the mood for a film that makes you think about choices and consequences, give it a go, but don’t expect it to be a nail-biter throughout. Show less
