Matchstick Men is an acting tour de force with a few of the best American actors working today. Its story of phobia-addled con artist Roy [Nicolas Cage] and his protege Frank [Sam Rockwell] are on the verge of pulling off a lucrative swindle when the unexpected arrival of Roy's teenage daughter Angela [Alison Lohman] disrupts his carefully-ordered life and jeopardizes his high-risk scam.
It's a story that keeps you guessing but at the same time plies you with a great father/daughter relationship, humor and high tense drama sometimes within...
Seriously though, another good one. Thanks. Sam Rockwell was another one I would have liked to talk to. Did you get to ask at all about GLory Daze? That flick is one of my guiltiest pleasures.
