Too much of everything

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Continuing my plan to watch every Steven Spielberg movie in order, I come to Catch Me If You Can.I don't think this is a great movie, but it is a very entertaining one, carried by three great performances. Leonardo Di Caprio delivers a great performance, Tom Hanks is his usual reliable self, even if his accent wobbles at times, but it's the wonderful Christopher Walken who steals every scene he is in, and whilst he is not in it a lot, his presence looms large. It seems as if it is over long, as it gets a bit repetitive at times, but it is never boring and whilst it is full of the Spielberg trademarks, some are switched on their heads. In a year dominated by Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man and Star Wars, Lord Of The Rings, Harry Potter, Men In Black and Austin Powers sequels, Catch Me If You Can, grossed $164 million at the domestic box office, to end 2002 as the 11th highest grossing movie of the year.

As the headlines says, in my opinion Catch Me If You Can is a stunning film about a con man and his life. These is a beautiful written story and worth every minute of your time. It's grasps in its emotional scenes and makes you laugh sometimes. The timing is perfect. It is neither too long for too short. It has a perfect duration for audiences this masterpiece of a movie.Moreover, the acting of the well chosen cast is truly magnificent in every words.
Both Leonardo Di Caprio and Tom Hanks display versatility. Their pairing is one of the many things I admire about this movie. The supporting cast members deliver great performances too.The plot, the direction, the cinematography, the soundtrack, the locations make up the rest of the things I like about this movieIt's true Steven Spielberg's has made blockbuster and more crtically acclaimed movies but by far, I think the best deserves to these gem of a movie.So, that is why this movie has perfect score of 10.

Steven Spielberg directs this fun to watch cat and mouse race about a teenage runaway turned con artist, Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio). The young man is quick witted and innovative enough to pull off a carefree spree of convincing people at various times that he was an airline pilot, a doctor, a college professor and a legal prosecutor without even a high school diploma. And to support this giant pretense is his ability to create and cash millions of dollars in fraudulent checks. All this brilliant deception puts FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) on and off his almost allusive trail. This crime, bio flick is not without its humorous moments. A real nice soundtrack helps keep this two hour plus flick running smoothly. Some swell tunes by Dusty Springfield, the Lettermen, Erroll Garner, Frank Sinatra, the Chiffons, Stan Getz and Nat 'King' Cole are featured.The cast also includes: Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Amy Adams, Jennifer Garner, James Brolin, Elizabeth Banks and Nathalie Baye.Well crafted, high quality scenery and a pleasure to watch!
