Catch Me If You Can - Movie 2002

 Title: Catch Me If You Can
Rating: 8.5/10
Director: Steven Spielberg

Based on a true story, Catch Me If You Can tells the story of Frank Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio), A teenage boy with dreams of escaping poverty. When his parents get divorced Frank runs away from home, With a knack for impersonating and conning , Frank starts numerous scams including forging checks and succeeds in stealing nearly 2.8 Million Dollars. His high profile leads to Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), An FBI agent who starts tracking Frank to put an end to his schemes.
A classic cat and mouse movie, Catch Me If You Can contains numerous light hearted moments and slice of life comedy. Perhaps the most satisfying thing about this movie is the smooth way Frank cons people and gets away with it.
Steven Spielberg who has a reputation for directing the best movies ever made, Lives up to that standard and convinces us of the fact that this might be his best work, Until his other films come out of course.

The complicated relationship between Frank and Carl is really enjoyable, Along with the professional acting done by the two legends respectively. Carl is shown as the only one who can truly understand Frank making him Frank's only friend, As shown in the movie where Frank always calls Carl on Christmas and talks to him, Frank also makes fools out of numerous FBI agents including Carl on multiple occasions, Always staying one step ahead of them.
This movie never fails to impress me and I definitely recommend watching it.
