Catch this one!

Rating: 8/10 (9 April 2003)

Not a huge fan of "based on real life" movies I saw this with some doubts in my mind. Many "based on..." movies come across with docu-drama feelings, plot holes due to time constraints, some shady comments that seem out of place unless you are already familiar with the real life events and various other unappealing material. Catch Me if You Can does *none* of this. The story of a young man with incredible talent who puts himself in unbelievable situations all searching for some kind of cosmic truth. This story could not have been written better if it was fiction, and the fact that it comes from a true story makes you really want to take a look at the people you pass on the street. It makes you think twice about the human race and leaves you feeling good.
