Critique of the Movie Matchstick Men :: Movie Film Essays

Critique of the Movie Matchstick handsI recently read a review of Matchstick Men by Nicolas Bardot who said of the movie very touching but lacking a certain panache. The Matchstick Men starring Nicolas detain, Sam Rockwell, and Alison Lohman, is the story of Roy (Cage) who with his numerous disorders and his spouse Frank (Rockwell) tries to pull off a con job. Unfortunately, Roys little girl Angela (Lohman) suddenly shows up and things dont go exactly as planned. Although Roys disorders are not mentioned specifically, I cant envisage they would make his job easy in the first place, but drift a long lost teenage daughter into the mix and I can not wait to see what happens next. Matchstick Men is an adaptation from an Eric Garcia smart and runs one hour and fifty six minutes.Bardot seems to vary on his credit of this movie. He makes special note of John Mathiesons photography declaring it as superb, as well as expressing delight in the soundtrack which was compiled by Hans Zimm er. Bardot seems to adulation the movie for its depiction of anti-heroes, yet at the same epoch says that at times it becomes slightly dull and uninteresting. Despite his lack of refulgency praise for the picture, Bardot expands upon the expansive and spectacular past pictures by Ridley Scott, the director. Having directed much(prenominal) films as Gladiator and Black Hawk Down among others, Bardot seems to think Scott has prove a hidden talent in his new genre, comedy, declaring that his work on this picture is marvelous.Although Bardot mentions the performances of Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell, and Alison Lohman, I wish he had gone into to a greater extent detail as to what was good about them, or in Cages case unnerving. He also refrains from mentioning other details such(prenominal) as setting, costumes, and camera angles which I would find interesting.
