A Great Story And Two Iconic Actors Lead To A Classic Film.

Rating: 8/10 (12 July 2019)

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. The fact the Leonardo DiCaprio won an Academy Award for 'The Revenant' in 2015 but wasn't even nominated for this film is ridiculous. Frank Abagnale has a fascinating story and Leonardo DiCaprio played the role perfectly. Tom Hanks was a good stiff cop and the soundtrack is great. This film is currently one of IMDB's Top 250, and unlike about half of those films, this one actually belongs on that list. Kudos to Spielberg and his boyfriend Tom for another great collaboration.
