#23 Catch Me If You Can Review

Greetings, respect, and love to you all, my friends. In this piece, I’ll be reviewing the movie Catch Me If You Can, which brings together great actors like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.

Let’s take a look at the plot:

This is the real-life story of the youngest con artist ever to make it onto the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list. Before turning 18, Frank Abagnale Jr. had already posed as a doctor, a lawyer, and a co-pilot for a major airline. A master of disguise, Abagnale was also an incredibly smart con artist. He started committing check fraud at the age of 16 and continued his scheme across 26 countries, swindling millions of dollars. He also pulled off the most successful bank fraud in U.S. history.

Let’s talk about the actors:

Leonardo DiCaprio, he should’ve been given an Oscar for this role way back then. I don’t think the movie would’ve been as impactful if someone else had played the part.
Tom Hanks, let me underline this, he is my favorite actor. Seeing him in this movie, especially alongside Leo, made me very happy. What a great team!
Christopher Walken, he’s probably the most "put upon" character in the film. But his calmness in the face of everything doesn’t fail to captivate us. Truly, a stand-up guy.
Amy Adams, back then, she was the young and beautiful nurse, and now she’s Lois Lane. Without a doubt, she plays the most innocent character in the movie. Whenever I see her, I can’t help but think of the Veli Toplantısı audio clip—those who know, know!
Martin Sheen, the Uncle Ben who has to die in every Spider-Man movie. It was nice to see him in this film, too. For a moment, I thought he was going to give Frank a real scare, but then he took us by surprise.
The rest of the cast also fits seamlessly into the film. They all did a great job.

Now, onto the review: 

Honestly, there isn’t much to criticize about this movie. Although, I must admit, some parts can feel a bit slow. But this is a common trait in Steven Spielberg’s films—just when you start feeling bored, the movie picks up and gets lively again.
The most frustrating part of the movie is Frank William Abagnale (played by Christopher Walken)’s extreme calmness. He’s too calm for his own good, incredibly positive. First, the IRS gets on his case, causing him to sell his house. Then, they rent out parts of their new home. After that, his wife leaves him and marries the president of the club he’s a member of. Later, he opens a grocery store, and that goes under too. Man, show a little emotion! We’re over here losing our minds, and you’re just chill.
Aside from that, Leo’s ability to jump from one scheme to the next was really impressive. The way he reads or sees something and then uses it when necessary shows just how smart he is. The guy swindled $4 million by the time he was 18. And in the end, he turns himself in anyway.

With its stellar cast, everyone playing their roles perfectly, and the smooth flow of the plot, Catch Me If You Can is definitely a movie you can watch over and over again.
