★★★½
While I liked Ridley Scott's Oscar-winning Gladiator, I didn't think it represented his best work. He's a solid director, who made Black Hawk Down and Thelma & Louise some of the most talked-about films of recent years. Matchstick Men is another winner, a film of surprising complexity and strong characterizations. It features another stellar performance by Nicolas Cage, and a string of captivating supporting performances that enhance the film's rich texture.
