Catch Me If You Can (Steven Spielberg, 2002)
M | 140 Mins | 2002 | DCP | US | D: Steven Spielberg
Frank Abagnale Jr gives Ferris Bueller a run for his money as cinema’s king of adolescent con artistry in this comedy-drama, based on the real Abagnale’s disputed semi-autobiographical book. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as the dashing teenage swindler, wooing his way into fake cheques and ladies’ arms. Will FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) be able to catch him? And will you catch the sly conceit from director Steven Spielberg?
‘Everything about this swift and gorgeous and tremendously enjoyable film is played out in a rush of staccato edits, crisp performances, and charmingly giddy subplots that coalesce into Spielberg’s most purely entertaining movie in years’ – Austin Chronicle
