As one of the best actors of our time Nicolas Cage may have increased his already expansive star power with his performance as Roy the “Con Artist” in Matchstick Men. As a divorced con man who left his pregnant wife, Cage gives an unbelievably believable peformance of a struggling soul with a guilty conscience. Facial tics, stuttering, and curious noises when expressing himself through words are executed with evil realism by Cage as someone tormented by an obsessive compulsive disorder. Playing Roy’s foil and partner in crime is Frank played by Sam Rockwell, who turns in a ample, if not equal performance. Roy’s penchant for cleanliness is challenged by Frank’s slovenly behavior and shoot from the hip attitude. This relationship works well as Frank portrays the rough around the edges protege of Roy the mentor. Angela(Allyson Lohman) is Roy’s 14-yr. ancient daughter that he has never known. Until now. In the middle of the biggest regain of Roy’s life, Angela shows up and begins to pull Roy out of the funk that began 14 years ago. Connecting on a criminal level, son and daughter forge a celebrated bond that is racy and luscious to ogle. Cage’s obsessive compulsive behavior seems to lessen each time he shares a pizza with Lohman. These characters are truly flawed and describe the human condition in all of its tragic imperfections perfectly. In the raze we all may have do something emotionally upsetting to invent ends meet in a world revolving around money. With equal amounts of comedy, drama, and suspense; Matchstick Men is a movie that truly has purpose. Discovering the purpose makes for one of the best surprise endings, as well as movies, of the year.
“Matchstick Men” may not have been a box office success (compare it to the total outrageous of “National Worship” [Cage's next film] and “Kingdom of Heaven” [Scott's next film]), but it certainly is one of the better-crafted & better-acted films to be associated with either of these men. I was beginning to wonder if Cage could ever advise a performance like what he did in “Leaving Las Vegas.” While his obsessive-compulsive con-man may not be the distress along the lines of a suicidal alcoholic, he comes discontinuance with the impact he makes on the viewer. This could easily have veered into caricature, but Cage creates a creditable & believable obsessive-compulsive.

Perhaps this could be classified as a comedy, but it has an awfully bittersweet quality to it which makes the movie difficult to categorize with any ease. The characters of Roy & Angela (a very very helpful performance by Alison Lohman, who is entirely believable as a 14-year-old) are accurate enough to cause the viewer to have a vested interest in their ultimate fate, as the movie takes numerous twists & turns.
Ridley Scott did quite a satisfactory job at crafting a movie that avoids being too clear, and which flows along nicely, maintaining viewer interest throughout. This was a very satisfying film, through & through…I wish these two guys could form more like this.
