Catch Me If You Can
2002
***½
Director: Steven Spielberg
Cast: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Nathalie Baye
Steven Spielberg's entertaining film tells the story of Frank Abagnale, a teenage con artist who in the 1960s impersonated a lawyer, a doctor and an airline pilot, to mention a few. It's based on a true story, and maybe that's why Spielberg was afraid to make the necessary cuts. The film is needlessly long as it stands now. An untypical jazzy John Williams score.
