DESCRIPTION
Story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a young con artists who passes himself off as a pilot, doctor, lawyer, and cashes in millions of dollars of fraudulent checks, with the FBI hot on his trail. Genre: Feature Film-Comedy Rating: PG13 Release Date: 10-APR-2007 Media Type: DVD
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
