    Product Description
    A phobic con artist and his protege are on the verge of pulling off a lucrative swindle when the con artists teenage daughter arrives unexpectedly. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/07/2005 Starring: Nicolas Cage Alison Lohman Run time: 116 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Ridley Scott

    Amazon.com
    Marking a welcome return to the breezy style of Thelma & Louise, Ridley Scott's Matchstick Men reminds us that the director of Gladiator is equally adept with quirky comedies and offbeat characters. Smoothly adapted from the novel by Eric Garcia and set amidst the sunlit, 1950s-style architecture of L.A.'s San Fernando Valley, this gently dramatic comedy centers on Roy (Nicolas Cage), a divorcee whose career as a con artist is complicated by: (1) his ongoing struggle with obsessive compulsive disorder, which manifests itself through various quirks and rituals; (2) a wily partner (Sam Rockwell) whose criminal ambitions are greater than Roy suspects; and (3) the arrival of 14-year-old Angela (Alison Lohman), claiming to be the daughter he's never known. Turns out she's got a knack for dad's profession, and that turns Matchstick Men into a multilayered comedy with unexpected twists and surprising revelations. To say more would spoil the fun; suffice it to say that Hans Zimmer's playful score and a Sinatra-laced soundtrack are perfect complements to Cage's engaging eccentricities. --Jeff Shannon

    5 out of 5 stars Matchstick Men   October 24, 2008
    My husband wanted this movie for his high school class that he teaches. He loves it and thinks that it is a good "life lesson" and an interesting movie.


    2 out of 5 stars Great movie until that horrible twist   August 9, 2008
     0 out of 2 found this review helpful

    This is one of those movies that needed to just play it straight. The acting was great and the concept, sans twist, was great. But this movie, like many others, tried to be too clever for its own good. Granted this movie came out before M Night Shamalambadingdong was appointed his Hack status, but in general movie creators need to take him as an example when making movies. You dont have to put twist in everything. Sometimes just let the drama play. Let the movie be about characters and interactions, don't be too plotty. Because after a while you get potty.


    2 out of 5 stars Good acting, but predictable   September 22, 2007
     0 out of 2 found this review helpful

    I appreciated Nicolas Cage's acting in this more than most of his other movies. I figured out the ending of the movie rather early, and was disappointed that there wasn't a more clever twist. I would not consider this a comedy. I gave it 2 stars because I did like the acting, but I would not want to watch this movie a second time, I found it trite.


    5 out of 5 stars Stunning drama and twist ending thriller. Underated film.   September 1, 2007
     2 out of 2 found this review helpful

    Well, I rented the movie to see how Nicholas cage potrays con man as he looks innocent and sincere guy in his appearance.After seeing the film, I was just thrilled and surprised this didn't touch oscars. Nicholas plays a con guy who misleads people by tactful stealing, selling water filters promising fake gift certificates and non-existent shows. He make hell of money which he keeps in his bank locker. His protege is Sam Rockwell, a foul mouthed guy. Cage suffers from Panic attacks, Agoraphobia, OCD and his rituals involve cleaning, Counting 3 when closing and opening doors and also Trouttes syndrome. He takes treatment from a cocky psychiatrist. All of sudden his 14yr daughter brilliantly done by Lohman appears in his lonely life and he loves her though he starts of rather ackwardly.The father daughter relationship is so heartening and cute to watch. Cage teaches his daughter his con tricks and she gets involved in a big cheating episode. The melo-drama movie ends thrilling all of us. No spoilers here !
    Nicholas cage does very complex roles of being a con-man, father/daughter relationship and his Anxiety disorder with unbelievable ease. The film could have been easily spoiled and unrealistic but for his acting. He deserves Oscar for this. The ending finds his calm and mature man conquering his inner devils. Lohman is 25yrs old and it is unbelievable how she potrayed a 14yr old. She just looks like 14yr old unless we see her in the end of the movie where she is transformed. I wondered if it was a special effect ! She acts with effortless ease displaying teenage emotions of naughtiness, innocence, affection and bickering. A treat to watch her.
    Entire plot is gripping with new plot starting every 15 minutes. Did I say it is drama movie which ends as a twist ending thriller ? An underated movie worth seeing !

    Matchstick Men was a great movie! It takes a lot for me to say great things about a movie...so if I liked it...it is worth it. Just when you think you have it figured out it blows your mind....I highly recommend.
