Meh.

The action scenes are great (not surprising, since the movie's directed by John Woo); they're the highlight of the movie. The writing and acting, on the other hand, are a different story. The script has good intentions, but ultimately fails due to characterization cliches, poor dialogue, and wanna-be sentimentality. Nicholas Cage acts in his typical, apathetic fashion (a zombie-esque scowl upon his face, peppered with the occasional slurred line) for most of the movie; the rest of the performers don't fare much better.

WTF
Reviewed by Mavourneen for Knowing at 2009-08-07 18:05:25
I love watching movies of all types and consider myself to be open minded when reviewing films but in this case I can only say that this movie was an absolute piece of crap. I feel like I raped my brain by sitting through 90 minutes of some of the worst acting I have ever seen. The only redeeming part of this movie was the special effects and the ending.

Running with Matchsticks
Reviewed by www.BraidedThreads.blogspot.com for Matchstick Men at 2008-10-09 12:05:22
http://braidedthreads.blogspot.com/2008/09/running-with-matchsticks.html ...By the end of Matchstick Men, the filmmakers seem to feel guilty for asking us to sympathize with someone who steals for a living so they try to overcompensate by bringing Cage through an emotional, psychological, and professional meat grinder. A twist ending makes the film you just watched seem like a more fascinating one than it did while you were actually watching it. That "aha!" ending almost seems borrowed from another movie: one with enough mystery and suspense to prepare you for such a satisfying revelation. If only the the filmmakers had been able to transfer some of the tension and confusion of Cage's character to the viewer so that we could have a few more question marks to carry through the film until we reach the answers in the end. As it is, we get answers for questions we didn't know we were supposed to be asking.

Not that bad.

I found this a good action/adventure movie to watch with younger children who are not quite ready for Indiana Jones. Also sparked interest in national monuments as exciting and not just for school.

Edge of seat con game
Reviewed by lrademac07 for Matchstick Men at 2008-04-14 14:18:56
I had to watch this film a few times before I loved it. Cage is brilliant portraying a mentally ill genius con artist. I thoroughly enjoyed his character from the 1st minute. I saw the movie in the theatre and thought, ugh. But once I bought it on DVD I began to like the movie more. The movie is slow at the beginning but it picks up enough and when the twist ending hits you, you're left wondering what the heck just happened.
