Ridley scott is a brilliant director and Nicholas Cage has a firm grasp on the art of acting. Unfortunately even all that skill and heart can't save Matchstick Men. First of all it about conmen, so right from the get go its oh ready riddled with cliches. Cage plays a conman who finds his heart after he realizes he has a daughter, so he has an epiphany. Despite the contrived plot Cage brings real charisma to the role, picking up where he left off with Adaptation. The movie sucks but Cage makes it worth seeing.
