Hindsight

Matchstick Men was a nice catch today. I realize as I write this that I am suddenly conditioned to get a mild headache anytime I am near a computer. This is the result of working 12 hour shifts everyday last week and making a doctor’s visit because of a recent health condition. The overtime and illness is not a coincidence, that’s for sure. So stopping all activity related to both eBay and computing was ultimately relaxing.

Alison Lohman is fantastic, and so is Nicolas Cage. Sam Rockwell had me chuckling good, as his character was rather believable from start to finish.

Also interesting was the making of featurette. Whether or not you like him, Ridley Scott seems to have good work ethic. At least the documentary paints him as such.

The film was really strengthened by it’s editing. The frenetic pace of an otherwise boring scene here and there made the view pretty arresting. I was engaged. It’s worth catching.
