Where to Watch Matchstick Men
- Christopher HirschMay 28, 2026Good movie. Great con, on the order of Ocean’s 11. Great cast.
- 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.
- mickerdooMay 10, 2026The hustle and vibe push this one higher for me. Cage hones a neurotic character. Lohman is charming. Plus Rockwell throws some moves.
- 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!
- Carli JusticeNovember 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.
- davena61February 3, 2026A very intriguing show...all the way to the end.
- scottsnowgone_grrlDecember 30, 2025Ridley Scott is da man and Matchstick Men is da bomb!
- 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.
