matchstick men
 

ok, so i just got done watching the movie matchstick men. i thought it was pretty good, but the last part completely lost me. were the psychiatrist, his partner, his daughter, and the guy he tried to con all in it together? the part that confused me the most was when he goes back to see his wife and she says that she lost the baby before she was born. then he sees his daughter a year later all grown up and she acts like everything really did happen.

anyone who's seen this please help me make some sense outta this.

dude u must be slow.

they were all conning Cage. he see's his "daughter" but he knows it's not his daughter. but he still has an affinity for her.

Re: matchstick men
 

thanks.

i didn't see the first part when he originally meets up with his daughter so i'm thinking that's what caused the confusion.

Re: matchstick men
 

She's not really his daughter. She's conning him.

Why do people even watch movies with Nicholas Cage in them? I realized the folly in this a long time ago and have since been a much happier person.

What did you think of his performance in Leaving Las Vegas?

I can't think of anything he's done since then that isn't cringe-inducing.

adaptation was fantastic. and i thought matchstick men was fun enough.

cage is a HORRIBLE actor, I will agree. But his movies are usually pretty good. Prooves that variance is alive and well in other things besides poker. Look at Kevin Cotner, hes a horrrible actor, and all his movies suck. Cage runs g00t

Right...I'd forgotten totally about Adaptation. He actually gave an amazing performance in that movie. 8MM was a dumb movie, but he actually wasn't that bad in it.

Cage plays losers in life much better than he plays heroes.

As a self proclaimed hater of Nic Cage I do have to admit he did an excellent job in this movie.
