On the surface Catch Me If You Can feels like one of those fun caper movies. It's interesting seeing how Frank Abagnale Jr (DiCaprio) executes his cons.
But this also a story of a family breaking apart and the lengths that this young man goes to in order to get his family back.
Great cast - the performances are outstanding and sets are delicious - the attention to detail to create the ideal of the 1960s is superb.
My main problem with Catch Me If You Can is that it starts to drag. The multiple endings (the movie could have finished off in France) left me feeling let down instead of uplifted.
8/10
