Catch Me If You Can

Description

Product Description Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christopher Walken. The funny, mostly true story of 1960s check forger extraordinaire Frank Abagnale, Jr.., who passes as an airline pilot, a doctor and a lawyer while a dogged FBI agent tries to follow his trail of phony checks. Directed by Steven Spielberg. 2002/color/141 min/PG-13. desertcart.com An enormously entertaining (if somewhat shallow) affair from blockbuster director Steven Spielberg. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Frank Abagnale, Jr., a dazzling young con man who spent four years impersonating an airline pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer--all before he turned 21. All the while he's pursued by a dedicated FBI agent named Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), whose dogged determination stays one step behind Abagnale's spontaneous wits. Both DiCaprio and Hanks turn in enjoyable performances and the movie has a bouncy rhythm that keeps it zipping along. However, it never gets under the surface of Frank's drive to lose himself in other identities, other than a simplistic desire to please his father (Christopher Walken, excellent as always), nor does it explore the complex mechanics of fraud with any depth. By the movie's end, it feels like one of Frank's pilot uniforms--appearance without substance. --Bret Fetzer Review: "Catch me if you Can" is a wonderful upgrade to 4K - "Catch Me If You Can" is worth the upgrade to 4K. I just wish the copy they sent did not arrive with a slightly damaged slip cover. Sent it back and gonna wait till after Christmas. Still love the movie and is worth adding to my personal collection. Review: Very interesting; liked the interview with the real-life person. - Enjoyed; Tom Hanks and Leonardo DeCaprio were great. Noted the effects of parents who are not responsible for their children.
