Matchstick Men review by GitTom
it's not as you think

The whole movie puts you on a false track - you could even say it plays the same game with you as the conmen do with their victims. But once you get over the bafflement at the end, this movie is very clever, and the performance of Nicholas Cage and Alison Lohman, as their relationship develops, is heartwarming. Watching it the second time, I actually still really enjoyed it, because there is so much to discover.

This was a good movie one to really be enjoyed as it shows a man who is a con artist getting into difficulty controlling his health condition then having to deal with his daughter that he hasnt seen nor even knows she exists for 14 years.
