One of the best movies ever!

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2005)

I saw this movie twice in the theater, which is saying a lot, because I hardly ever even go to the theater to begin with. To say that Stephen Spielberg is a genius is an understatement, when it comes to films like this. Every single moment in the movie is captured with sheer brilliance and fantastic execution. He knows exactly how to make the audience feel with each and every different aspect that is delivered to us in each and every scene.
Leonardo DiCaprio is of course famous for Titanic, and other films since then, but I would have to say that this is his best role to date, since "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?". Although he is a character actor, and a good one at that, this role for him was perfect, because he not only was given the chance to be a "character" but also the lead in the film. He is able to carry a whole movie on his shoulders with such ease it is so enjoyable to watch.
Tom Hanks was certainly not one to forget in this film, either, though. His character, Handratty, was unforgettable as well. Hanks is able to make you hate him, feel sorry for him, and laugh at him all at once in 'Catch Me'. His accent is very well rehearsed, and there are times you forget that it is Tom Hanks, and not the real character he is playing.
This movie will leave you cheering for the wrong team, and holding your breath at times. It is hard not to like this film, and I give it a full 10 for it's magic, beauty and true-to life story that it so gracefully delivers to us. A good watch and great film in general.
