fairly entertaining

Rating: 6/10 (2 November 2009)

It's definitely an entertaining movie with all the decent elements that a good movie should have. Spielberg is there, Hanks, DiCaprio, and Walken acting, and a funny true story.
The movie is evil in one way that makes you attracted to the smartness in tricking people. I've always enjoyed watching this "crooky" kind of intelligence and you cannot but notice that even Hanks admired the character of Abignale Jr.
The only flaw in the movie, however, is that though a problem existed in the relationship of the parents, the leading character played by DiCaprio had no other dimensions. I think probably there should have been more work on how the character developed to become that smart, tricky and lovable. Still, DiCaprio is a brilliant actor and hasn't been fairly treated in Hollywood yet.
