A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE MOVIE

Rating: 8/10 (19 February 2003)

Thanks to the fact, that it was made by a truth story.
The story itself is simply superb, maybe a little too light-weighted to become a masterpiece. Spielberg & Hanks did their's job as we expected from them, while a pleasent surprise came from DiCaprio, who managed to get rid of the Titanic-look-a-like style and gain some acting abilities. But the best performance came from supporting actor Christoper Walken. An Oscar play.
Catch me if you can is one of the best movies in 2002 and if it wouldn't be a little slow paced at the end, it would sure win the title - a classic movie.
8 out of 10.
