Review of Catch Me If You Can (2002) by Scott J — 22 Jun 2012
I loved this movie! It wasn't a typical Steven Spieldberg movie, which is what made it so great. It had excellent performances in it from Leonardo Dicaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, and Martin Sheen.
This movie was so amazing and unreal that it seems impossible for it to be based on a true story, but surprisingly it is! This movie takes us on a non-stop journey of a teenage who is conning his way around the world posing as a pilot, doctor, and lawyer.
This goes on for years, as he is able to stay just ahead of FBI agent, Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks). Christopher Walken also turns in a good performance as Frank Abagnale Sr. All of the supporting cast performed also performed well.
I have never seen a film where one minute I was rooting for one character - the next minute I was rooting for his enemy! No matter who you find yourself rooting for, this is fun ride.
