Meet Roy and Frank, a couple of professional small-time con artists. What Roy, a veteran of the grift, and Frank, his ambitious prot?g?, are swindling these days are "water filtration systems," bargain-basement water filters bought by unsuspecting people who pay ten times their value in order to win bogus prizes like cars, jewelry and overseas vacations--which they never collect. These scams net the flim-flam men a few hundred here, another thousand there, which eventually adds up to a lucrative partnership. Roy's private life, however, is not so successful. An obsessive-compulsive agoraphobe... with no personal relationships to call his own, Roy is barely hanging on to his wits, and when his idiosyncrasies begin to threaten his criminal productivity he's forced to seek the help of a psychoanalyst just to keep him in working order. While Roy is looking for a quick fix, his therapy begets more than he bargained for: the revelation that he has a teenage daughter--a child whose existence he suspected but never dared confirm. What's more troubling, 14-year-old Angela wants to meet the father she never knew. At first, Angela's appearance disrupts her neurotic father's carefully ordered routine. Soon, however, with his own unique spin on parenthood, Roy begins to enjoy a relationship he never dreamed of having with his daughter. But while he develops paternal feelings for the 14-year-old, she's developing a fascination with Daddy's questionable career.

Matchstick Men
One of the best movies of 2003 somehow bypassed everyone at the cinema and arrives on DVD with critical aplomb. Ridley Scott's heist-cum-family drama sees neurotic con-man Nicolas Cage discovering he has a daughter (Lohman, excellent playing a 14 year old - she's 24 in real life) and must change his life when she comes to live with him. The performances are spot on and, if Rockwell is a little underused, the script has plenty of twists and turns. Essential viewing.
Matchstick Men Compelling and complex LA-set drama about obsessive-compulsive con-artist Nic Cage who forms an attachment to the 14-year-old daughter he never knew he had. Sir Ridley Scott directs
With its Frank Sinatra-strewn soundtrack and con-artist milieu, Sir Ridley Scott's Matchstick Men will inevitably draw comparisons with Sir Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, and for good reason. The parent-child bond at the core of Spielberg's film exists here too, though the final reel of Scott's film packs an almighty sucker punch absent in its predecessor. Perhaps a more worthy comparison would be with Peter Bogdanovich's Paper Moon.

This movie was good but at some times I got bored of it. It was a bit slow in the beginning and around the middle but I liked the ending! Very good twist there! 4/5
happened a little too hard to swallow. It was good, it made me want to watch Paper Moon again.. In fact, that's exactly what I did while I was waiting for this movie to buffer! Many have said it and I'll say it again; Youku sucks.
