Went to see Matchstick Men last night. Good movie, well worth seeing. Nicolas Cage does a wonderful job, as usual, playing offbeat characters. He certainly takes chances with his roles, and when he connects - as he does here - it's a delight to see. The script does a fine job of weaving together three separate stories - Cage as con man, Cage as a man with neurotic obsessions (think Adrian Monk on speed), and Cage as a man who discovers he has a teenage daughter.
Directed by Ridley Scott, who's been known to make a few good movies, too. Nice to see him making a relatively small, character-driven movie for a change, instead of a big blockbuster.
