Matchstick Men Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
Matchstick Men glides from comedy to suspense to poignance, arriving at a destination you might not suspect...Fun while it lasts, but it's a bit of a con job itself.
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
This is a movie about con games at every level.
Variety
Todd McCarthy
Matchstick Men never really casts off its cloak of artificiality and calculation; its pleasures are minor, however distracting they may be.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
A lot more fun than most of the director's pompously inflated output.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
Unrestrained and shamelessly adorable, [Cage] invests his role as a twitchy, obsessive-compulsive con man with all the wildly gesticulating energy he can muster.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
On the heels of other fun-loving caper films like Ocean's 11, the exceedingly stylish Matchstick Men briefly threatens to fall into that entertaining but empty retro conceit of palm trees and wide lapels. Crisis averted.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
A thoroughly absorbing hour and 56 minutes of entertainment.
Slate
David Edelstein
It's a blah little exploitation picture that thinks it's a deep humanist parable.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
More than just tics and hurried mannerisms, Cage's Roy is a percolating time bomb of emotional baggage, the actor delving deep inside the tortured grifter's inner demons.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Matchstick Men isn't even remotely intricate; it's not even particularly interesting.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
A well-acted and intriguing exploration of dishonesty in its varied forms, leavened with a dry comic touch.
Seattle Times
Mary Brennan
Disappointing and uneven
San Jose Mercury News
Glenn Lovell
A whimsical winner in which everybody seems to be having a blast.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
A clever look at con artists and their games of deception.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Despite the fine acting, you may end up feeling as suckered as Roy's victims.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
A well-crafted grifter tale with heart.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
An engaging spin on the reliable crime subgenre of lovable thieves.
Detroit News
Tom Long
This is not the sumptuous visual feast Scott usually delivers, and that's likely intentional. He's going for character here, for connections, and he gets them for a while. Then he lets go.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
[An] engaging, funny and touching film.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
From its jazz-inflected score to the screenplay's switchbacks of possibility and impending disaster, the movie seduces.
