Signature Spielberg direction

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2019)

"Catch Me If You Can" (2002) directed by Steven Spielberg I thought was a great cat-chasing-mouse film.
From the opening credits, the film eers with stylistic homogeneity. The excellent writing by Jeff Nathanson, the smooth directional choices by Spielberg, the brilliant score by John Williams, the great cinematography by Janusz Kaminski, although a shame it was shot in 16:9. It all contributes to making this a greatly entertaining film achievement.
The most impressive though, to me was the performances by leading Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio, and by supporting Christopher Walken and especially by Amy Adams and Martin Sheen.
One thing I thought a weakness was that is didn't feel timeless - somehow it felt stuck in the beginning of the 00's in its production style.
Overall, though, a fine film by Spielberg.
