| #1 Posted on 14.9.03 0439.23 Reposted on: 14.9.10 0445.20 | I absolutely loved this movie--three thumbs up. Nicholas Cage did an awesome job and deserves an Oscar nod for his fine performance. Plus the unexpected twist ending was a nice treat.

| #3 Posted on 14.9.03 1405.45 Reposted on: 14.9.10 1405.52 | I had three movies I wanted to see this weekend. Once Upon a Time in Mexico, Cabin Fever, and Matchstick Men. I saw two of them. Matchstick Men was not one of them, unfortunately. I should've just saw this one movie, because I'm sure it's better than than those two major disappointments put together.

| #4 Posted on 14.9.03 1439.01 Reposted on: 14.9.10 1439.54 | Matchstick Men was great. The ending doesn't hold up to any scrutiny whatsoever, but if you hold that against the movie you're a fool. Cage was great. The girl was great. The only bad reviews were from people who thought that Frank was 'hilarious' and that the movie dragged without him.

| #7 Posted on 14.9.03 2322.30 Reposted on: 14.9.10 2324.47 | I saw this flick on Friday, and I of course agree with all the others in heaping praise on the movie. Cage was awesome, and I loved the twist toward the end. It's like Usual Suspects in that I want to see this again and figure out how I didn't see the twist before.
The dynamic with Frank was okay, but I don't understand caring too much about Sam's character. Cage and Lohman control the movie, and it's their relationship that drives this film.
