| Catch Me If You Can A teenager runs away from home and finds himself in the FBI�s ten most wanted list. Leonardo DiCaprio had a surprisingly great performance playing the teen, Frank Abingale Jr. Frank flees his hometown and divorcing parents and winds up in New York City. Having no money, Frank learns to forge and cash small checks. This fraud escalates to convincing people that he is an airline pilot, then a doctor, and then a lawyer. With the F.B.I. on his trail, led by Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), Frank goes three years as a fugitive delaying his inevitable time in jail, where the first scene of the movie takes place. This movie, based on a true story, combines great acting with a brilliant story. It exceeded my high expectations. Just be prepared to spend over two and a half hours watching. |
