Ari S Oct 10 A cleverly planned switcheroo story in which the twist at the end is the knife in the back. See more Amber M Oct 1 Matchstick Men focuses more on the characters than on the con. See more Michael H @Mixhael Sep 22 Matchstick Men glides from comedy to suspense to poignance, arriving at a destination you might not suspect...Fun while it lasts, but it's a bit of a con job itself. See more Ted B @Movieaddicted Sep 3 4.0 stars; A very clever movie. A clever plot and clever combination of actor and director. Ridley Scott is like Forrest Gump's "box of chocolates." You never know what kind of film you're going to get from him. He has covered about every genre there is. I think the selection of Nicholas Cage to play the lead role was clever. This was the period when he was doing his best work, I believe. He can do some fine work when playing character roles such as in "Leaving Las Vegas" and even "Pig." Fortunately, Scott caught him during the 'hit' part of his 'hit or miss' career. The most clever part about the film is that everyone gets conned, including the audience.

See more Lyra S Jul 5 “Bull—shit mon! Prefex! PREFEX. Prefex.” Yes this is the movie with that iconic scene of Cage going apeshit trying to order meds. Aside from that, this is Nic Cage in his unhinged prime. And Sam Rockwell. And Ridley Scott. And Hans Zimmer. And a touch of Lolita. Clever heists. Totally absurd, feel good, and fabulously fun. They don’t make them like this anymore. See more Read all reviews
