Great story with wonderful acting

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2002)

Tom Hanks once again shows why he is the modern day Jimmy Stewart. There isn't a part he can't play, and he brings out the best in everyone around him. Unlike the Tom Cruise/Paul Newman hook-up in "The Color of Money," I think that this movie will be the vehicle that launches Leonardo DiCaprio into a wider range of roles.
The delight of this show comes from its reality. The check fraud was a product of the times, when the world trusted most people to be honorable about bank checks. And the movie really captures your attention and allows you to empathize and imagine living the characters vicariously.
I highly recommend this movie...You will not be disappointed.
