Written on April 24, 2008 Summary: Slow Beginning Redeemed by the Second Half Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) had an easy life in New York during the 1960's. He was the only child of his parents and his father (Christopher Walkin) made a decently living from owning a store. All that came crashing down around him when the IRS came calling demanding more money. As things got more and more dire, his mother (Nathalie Baye) filed for divorce. Suddenly forced to choose between his two parents, Frank took off instead with the clothes on his back and a checkbook with a balance of $25. Even though Frank was only 16 at the time, he was also brilliant. He quickly figured out how to cash checks for more then he had. That led to forging checks, which led to taking jobs as a pilot, a lawyer and a doctor, all without even a high school diploma. But things weren't all fun and games. FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) was on his tale. Can Carl catch Frank? The movie starts out rather slowly. Watching Frank begin his life of crime is only interesting for a little while, but it takes much longer then it should. Once Carl really gets into the picture and the two start their cat and mouse games the tension really picks up. And it is hard to know who to root for, Frank to get away or Carl to capture him. The two actors do a great job of making their characters real and sympathetic. The movie is based on a true story. Since this is Hollywood, that means take with a shaker of salt. But it is still interesting to think of a teen really being able to pull this off. Naturally, with the advent of computer banking and added security, he'd have to work much harder to even think of pulling all this off today. This movie starts as a slow character study but builds into a chase movie with heart. It's not a movie to rush out and watch, but if you are interested, give it a whirl. Odds are you'll be entertained. Written on March 26, 2008 Summary: Spilberg at his movie magic best Catch Me If You Can is the film of Dicarpo's 2002 Christmas double feature that I didn't see in the theater. Even though I liked Gangs Of New York more, Leo gives another great as Frank W. Abagnale Jr a teenage con men who is full of heart. Tom Hanks as arch enemy Carl Hanratty also gives a heart felt performance. The film is full of comedy and drama and is for the young and the young at heart. Written on February 17, 2008 Summary: CATCH ME IN THE CAN DiCaprio and Hanks combine with Spielberg to produce an amusing,true story of a young rebel (Leo) outfoxing Hanks' special FBI unit on counterfeiting for years. Leo is at his acting best, following in the footsteps of his "loose" mother and his rip-off specialist father.He uses his keen intellect to assume top quality jobs in the airlines, as a doctor, and finally a lawyer,cashing millions of dollars of bogus checks along his route. The picture frolics along for about an hour until, suddenly, it seemingly goes flat, even boring. And it's Hanks, working with the alacrity of Barnaby Jones and the acumen of Inspector Clousseau that's to blame. No recording devices, 3 agents at the party, no effective police backups, a literal crawl up the stairs at the party, a complete lack of aggressiveness, the ridiculous escape from Miami, all seem to point to a deliberate lengthening of the film. Add a really ludicrous semi-climax where Leo is set free, again garbed in a pilot's uniform, and the film loses all credibility. Summing up, the plot was there for a great movie;instead this reviewer saw a fair/good one. Written on February 16, 2008 Summary: Proof that Reality is Stranger and more Fun than Fiction This film shows what Hollywood is capable of. Based on a true story, it is entertaining, moving and gripping throughout and has some funny moments and pieces of irony. For example, an armed Hanks in the laundromat; the guy in the airport carpark with the Handratty sign; Di Caprio asking for Hanks's ID, to name a few, are precious. Contemporary Hollywood really can still do genuine entertainment, even without resort to anyone being gratuitously shot, stabbed, punched, kicked or spat on. I would give it 5 stars but for the constant attributions to past events and time jumps. I just find flashbacks a bit of a give-away of the plot. Written on February 1, 2008 Summary: A fun, great paced film I am not a Tom Hanks fan but I adore Leonardo Dicaprio. He is a wonderful actor and brilliant in everything he does. And this is one of my most favorite roles of his. Its perfect and entertaining. I couldn't believe it was actually based on a factual event. Its amazing to even think about while watching this film. The movie is actually a bit long, however, I barely felt it because there really is no down time or boring parts. It is a great chase like movie. Really captivating. |
