Storytelling at its best, sharp, imaginative, authentic film

Rating: Null/10 (10 January 2003)

What a pleasure it is to witness Leonardo DiCaprio's tour-de-force performance in this perfect gem of a film. Spielberg and his top-flight team have created a delightful reconstruction of the era and Abagnale's bizarre cruise through it, making use of a stylized humor while maintaining a faithfulness to the period's look, feel, manner of speech and most especially, the music. Tremendous fun.
