"Two thumbs way up."-Ebert & Roeper
If there's a sucker born every minute, these guys will work the delivery room. Meet Roy and Frank, con men who plan to flimflam a flimflammer out of big-time dough. They have a new partner to help them too: Roy's long-absent 14-year-old daughter, who has entered his life and is eager to learn the art of the con.
Just when you think you have it figured out you don't, during this acclaimed comedy thriller directed by Ridley Scott. Nicolas Cage is winningly quirky as Roy, genius at crime and basket case in life because he's an agoraphobe, a germaphobe and suddenly a parent. Sam Rockwell is wily Frank. And Alison Lohman plays the wild child at Roy's door. For fun, suspense and brain-busting twists, nothing's hotter than Matchstick Men.

A con man finds he has a 14 year old daughter - 4.5 out of 5 (3/1/2004)
Hollywood usually depicts the Con Man as a loveable sort of crook, the nice guy that will smile as he takes your life savings. Matchstick Men is no different in this presentation of a career criminal. Roy (Nicholas Cage) is a con man, excuse men, con artist. With his partner Frank (Sam Rockwell) they rip off elderly people selling them $50 water filters for hundreds of dollars. As with most such criminals, they are always looking for that one big score, the one that will set them up for life. No
