Matchstick Men is a 2003 film directed by Ridley Scott and starring Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell and Alison Lohman. It is based on the novel Matchstick Men by Eric Garcia.

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, Angela goes to Venice High School in Los Angeles, California, which is a real high school.
