An entertaining movie with more depht that seems in the first view

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2003)

First of all,i think Spielberg is a great director of adventure movies.That's the best gift of many of his movies.This movie seems a simple entertaining flick but it show us how ET's director has grown.His obssesion with the family is here and also his best cualities as cinema autor(broken families,lonely child,sense of adventure.....).The movie is not great but is very good.I think this is one of the best biopics in recent american cinema,full of joy and ,surprise,drama.This film is also a magnificent portrait of the 60's ,the period of the Frank's swindle.The story of the young fake becomes in a great biography in Spielberg hands.Leonardo DiCaprio at last can be the great actor that always he was.His performance here is the most adecuate in every sense of the word.He's moving,charming,and plenty of life.This is his best performance since Gilbert Grape.Tom Hanks is good,although the show belongs to DiCaprio. Catch me if you can is an entertaining movie that give us more than it seems.
