[REVIEW] Catch Me if You Can

via:wikipedia

Leonardo DiCaprio is a guarantee of good quality movie (except J.Edgar of course). Not only Leonardo DiCaprio, but also Tom Hanks, both of them are the guarantees of huge success movie.

Synopsis: based on  true story, Frank Abagnale, Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) worked as a doctor, a lawyer, and as a co-pilot for a major airline -- all before his 18th birthday. A master of deception, he was also a brilliant forger, whose skill gave him his first real claim to fame: At the age of 17, Frank Abagnale, Jr. became the most successful bank robber in the history of the U.S. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) makes it his prime mission to capture Frank and bring him to justice, but Frank is always one step ahead of him.

Believe or not, the film is directed by Steven Spielberg, Director who made a fantasy movie like ET and Jurassic Park and touching drama such as Saving Private Ryan and Lincoln. Duration of this movie is 2 hours. You won`t feel bored because of the funny scenes such as when Carl successfully fooled by Frank or while Frank disguised as a doctor and he was sick while saw the disgusting patient.

Frank is a very intelligent character. He amazed us and also made us sympathetic because somehow he was just a teenager who still needs a family (Way to go Leonardo!). Chemistry between DiCaprio and Hanks are very strong as a criminal and the police as well as a friend. The film is also supported by other stars such as Amy Adams and Christopher Walken.

This film discussed a lot about relationships in the family. Frank’s feeling when his parents divorced, and how sad his father and his mother when they knew that he has deceived millions of dollars and when he missed his family while he was in jailed. No doubt that this movie’s rating is 96% on rottentomatoes and got many nominations awards at film festivals such as the Academy Awards, BAFTA, and Golden Globe.
