a cat mouse chase worth watching once

Rating: Null/10 (30 March 2005)

Frank Abagnale Jr was a con artist who became FBI'S most wanted man for shifting identities and forging cheques. A master of deception Frank Abagnale changed the no. at the bottom of the cheque so that the cheque which was to go to new york would go to san Francisco and by the time the deception was caught he would be off to another place. the breaking up of his family played a major role in his decent of becoming a criminal. Leonardo DiCaprio does a marvelous job in the beginning but as the movie progresses his acting falters. the movie is though enjoyable and captivating in the beginning, it loses its charm eventually and ends up as a bore. Contrary to general view,Tom Hanks has done a good job. The movie is short and sweet, humorous and emotional too at places. On the whole, it is a flick worth watching once, but only ONCE.
