Matchstick Men

[filmcritic]

Great movie! Ridley Scott did a great job and Nicholas Cage is probably going to get an Oscar nomination off of this. Really solid writing...and the ending is gonna blow everyone away.

Also...look out for Melora Walters as Cage's ex-wife.

I have to see this movie! I'm a huge fan of both Nick Cage and sir Ridley Scott. I saw the press conference on TV during TIFF coverage and it looks very interesting....

[Anachronism]

I can't wait for this flick either, much like you both I am a huge Cage fan. I think there are few actors who can pull that whole spontaneous kinetic energy thing that Nic can and coupled with eye jerking nervous ticks I can only stab at what hilarity must ensue. I was actually watching "Kiss of Death" the other day and was so re-enthused with his work that I rushed out and rented a whole slew of Nic Coppola flicks, and let me tell you what a treat. I had forgotten gems like "Trapped in Paradise" and "Fast Times at Ridgemont High." Anyhow I hope this film makes me laugh.

Man, I hate when people say this...

Yeah, because you start suspecting a lot and try to figure it out and then you do figure it out and it doesn't blow you away

[filmcritic]

In that case, don't try hard and let the plot unfold as it comes.

thats why i dont read threads about films i havent seen yet

[cine]

Dear god. Hope this doesn't spoil people's expectations about filmcritic's comments but the ending won't BLOW EVERYONE AWAY. I just saw it tonight.. its Ridley Scott's best movie, one of Cage's best performances.. but really.. before anybody comes on here and says "fuck filmcritic.. what were you talking about with the ending?"
It's a great film and just enjoy for what it is. filmcritic is exaggerating. Hope I didn't spoil anything.

[NEON MERCURY]

.it's Ridley's Scott's best movie..

I seriously doubt it in fact this film looks weak...but  i haven't seen it yeet either.so don't give me the "you can't remark about a film you haven't seen"...b/c some things i know.... personally every trailer that i have seen and liked i have been pleased to enjoy the film its self..for me the trailer is the best telling sign...(look at Radio)...everyone seems to bash it w/o seeing it ..you just know certain things ....as for his best film..he already achieved that and most likely won't top it ..it's called Blach Hawk Down..way under-rated  IMO...

"fuck filmcritic..what were you talking about with the ending?"

i wouldn't say that ..that s mean....

[Pubrick]

yeah i was wondering what happened to geena davis.

[Pozer]

yeah i was wondering what happened to geena davis.

I WAS GONNA FUCKING SAY THAT!
now I'll just say, touche!
FUCK, THAT WAS SAID TOO!

[edison]

Pretty good flick, reminded me a lot of House of Games though. I dont think Nic will get a Oscar nomination, maybe a Golden Globe.

[Finn]

Good movie, but I didn't think the ending was surprising. Nicholas Cage is the man!
