This movie, Matchstick Men, will surprise you. I guarantee it. I don't necessarily think this is the best movie in the world, but I had never heard much of anything about it. And bam! This one is pretty d*mn good. Love that.
First off, I can't get enough of movies about obsessive compulsive people. I'm sure it is too close to home for some, but man, I'd just like to get in there and mess some sh*t up in his house. Anyway, Nicolas Cage is perfect at it as with most any other role you throw his way.
Second, he's got some daughter and ex-wife stuff going on. That's some pretty decent drama, but let's skip over that sh*t.
So, third, he's partners in crime with Sam Rockwell's character on pretty much any con game they can dream up -- against old ladies or whatever place they can squeeze a k-nickle. Between the OCD and the cons, this movie makes for a funny crime drama thing that's well worth it.
But finally... fourth... well... I can't tell you about that. Bam!
