Shot in a stylish bluish tint that's starting to become less stylish to me, "MM" follows the exploits of a neurotic con man ("Con Arteest" Roy would correct me). Smooth on the job, Roy (Cage) is driving himself crazy with twitches and odd habits. At first these eccentricities amuse, but after a while become somewhat as annoying to the audience as they are to him.

Though humorous and quirky at times, the film is lie-laden. And while it may be fun in an empty way to watch Cage, the film loses might whenever Rockwell is off screen. At the end of the day the production sports quality direction, acting, and dialogue; but you may not want to spend your evening watching a handful of lost souls lie to each other. A similar film, "Catch Me if You Can" at least offers some truly warm characters in the mix. (I'm telling you Christopher Walken's performance in that movie rocks!)

Btw, though not everybody will, some will find MM's ending rather predictable as I did. Additionally besides a matchbox few of implausibles, you also might not expect a super-clean, take-off-your-shoes-on-my-carpet, kind of guy to also chain smoke.
