Meet Roy and his ambitious protégé Frank, a couple of con artists. Grifters. Matchstick Men. Business is good: the two run a successful, small-time scam. But Roy's (Academy Award winner Nicholas Cage) personal life is a mess. Chain-smoking, obsessive-compulsive, and agoraphobic, with idiosyncrasies that threaten his criminal productivity, Roy requires a psychoanalyst just to stay in working order. Now, much to his shock he discovers he has a 14-year-old daughter, Angela (Alison Lohman), who wants to know her father. And as Roy and Frank (Sam Rockwell) develop a style of parenting with a unique spin, they realize that Angela has an interest and a knack for the family business as she earns her place as one of the Matchstick Men.

Critics Consensus: Breezy and well-acted, Matchstick Men focuses more on the characters than on the con.

Reviews

Behind The Lens

Debbie Lynn Elias

Matchstick Men -- a nice strong balance of laughter and melodrama that envelops you like A Summer Wind.

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.

This is a movie about con games at every level.

Nicholas Cage gives his best performance since "Leaving Los Vegas" as con man Roy Waller in this sophisticated movie about familial responsibility, self-imposed barriers and the possibilities of a well executed long con.

Urban Cinefile Critics

A cleverly planned switcheroo story in which the twist at the end is the knife in the back.
