From direct Ridley Scott comes the fun and witty con man film Matchstick Men. The story follows a neurotic con man named Roy who reconnects with his estranged daughter. Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell, and Alison Lohman form a great cast and they deliver excellent performances. Cage and Lohman in particular have a good chemistry that makes their father/daughter relationship feel genuine. Additionally, the plot is especially well-crafted and compelling; thought the ending is a bit anticlimactic. Lighthearted and entertaining, Matchstick Men is a lot of fun.

I think this movie might be one of the most unique films I have seen in a while and I couldn’t explain it to anyone as the story and characters change constantly throughout the film. Nicholas Cage was awesome in this and I knew he would be and the same goes for all of the other actors in this film. The one thing I’ll say is it is not a comedy and it deals with some real life things, like mental health and actually how con artists do take advantage of people / how they do it. Give it a watch for sure, but I warn you it can get a little crazy plot wise and it is full of twists.

The film has more than a few problems fo More
