Matchstick Men Ratings & Reviews
- tellumApril 10, 2025One of Nick Cage’s better movies and doesn’t get enough credit.
- russrev1ewsFebruary 20, 2026It might be because I’m a newer dad, but this movie was deeply affecting. I found myself cheesing and frowning through the ups and downs of the father/daughter dynamics. A really fair portrayal of OCD as well. I wish Alison Lohman would come out of retirement, because she is such a magnetic force on screen. Held her own with the legend Nic Cage. Ridley Scott, for all his action acumen is a phenomenal melodramatic storyteller. I highly recommend this film!
- davena61February 3, 2026A very intriguing show...all the way to the end.
- Scott and SharonAugust 26, 2025One of my Favorite Nick Cave films. Tho you kinda already know what’s going to happen halfway thru the relationship between the father and estranged daughter. Still it’s a decent watch. Plus I always love a good Ridley Scott film.
- Lasse ViinikainenJuly 31, 2025Drama and comedy mixed the way it should.
- scottsnowgone_grrlDecember 30, 2025Ridley Scott is da man and Matchstick Men is da bomb!
- carlijusticeNovember 30, 2025I love movies with a twist, and this was a good one. An older movie, but it has aged well. Great cast. Good storyline. Definitely worth watching. This is not a really family friendly movie though. This would probably make a good movie for a date night.
- Richard PethelNovember 17, 2025Not just a con. It is heartbreak beyond compare. Fabulous performances while showing both the ruthlessness and gullibility of society.
- CubaneDecember 10, 2025I saw a twist coming at the end, but the film continued to double down on it long after I was expecting a fold. The real con was probably the friends we made along the way, or something.
