Matchstick Men
Matchstick Men (2003) is considered to be one of Nicolas Cage's best performances. A story revolves around a con artist with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and his protege, Sam Rockwell trying to pull off scheme after scheme. Things start to get difficult when Nicolas Cage discovers he has a daughter while tryig to pull off one his biggest cons ever. Based on the novel "Matchstick Men: A Novel about Grifters with Issues" (2002) by Eric Garcia, the movie also stars Alison Lohman along with Nicolas Cage and Sam Rockwell and was directed by Ridley Scott. A great story, well woven plot and great supporting acting make Matchstick Men a great con film.
