Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Matchstick Men never really casts off its cloak of artificiality and calculation; its pleasures are minor, however distracting they may be.

fresh:
Ridley Scott lets us enjoy the satisfying clicks and whirrs of the well-oiled celluloid con trick, while leaving plenty of head room for Cage to twitch and fret in.

Matchstick Men is really two movies brilliantly spliced into one, each enriching the other.
