Matchstick Men (film)





PLOT


Roy Waller ( Nicolas Cage ) is a phobia-addled con artist who lives a life that's filled with problems and miseries. His one friend, Frank ( Sam Rockwell ), is a younger con man who works with Roy in setting up scams against weaker people. Their usual heist is to sell the victims something useless at a huge price.

All is normal for the two of them until Roy learns from his new psychiatrist that he has a fourteen-year-old daughter named Angela ( Alison Lohman ). This throws Roy for a loop, but once he gets to know her, life takes a strange yet very pleasant turn for him. Then Frank pushes him into setting up a long con against tough-guy Chuck, which makes things more than a little complicated.


TRIVIA


  • In the film, Roy Waller displays symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
