Shpielberg redeems himself

Rating: Null/10 (15 September 2003)

I have been known to criticize the post-Raiders of the Lost Arc Spielberg for his obviousness and lack of attention to good story telling, but in Catch Me If You Can I must admit he finally hits a home run after his last twenty or so at bats... hey, he could play for the Mets... Shindlers List, of course, excluded. This is a fun film to watch. Very stylish opening credits that reminded me of The Pink Panther. The acting, costuming, art design, music, pacing, is all very fun. In fact, so much of the film is fun, you wonder if it could have possibly been directed by the same guy that made Jurassic Park. I doff my hat to him. He kept it simple. Let's hope this is a trend.
