Editorial Review:
Product Description: The true life story of Frank Abagnale Jr., the youngest man ever to be placed on the FBI's Most Wanted List.
Amazon.com: An enormously entertaining (if somewhat shallow) affair from blockbuster director Steven Spielberg. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Frank Abagnale, Jr., a dazzling young con man who spent four years impersonating an airline pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer--all before he turned 21. All the while he's pursued by a dedicated FBI agent named Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), whose dogged determination stays one step behind Abagnale's spontaneous wits. Both DiCaprio and Hanks turn in enjoyable performances and the movie has a bouncy rhythm that keeps it zipping along. However, it never gets under the surface of Frank's drive to lose himself in other identities, other than a simplistic desire to please his father (Christopher Walken, excellent as always), nor does it explore the complex mechanics of fraud with any depth. By the movie's end, it feels like one of Frank's pilot uniforms--appearance without substance. --Bret Fetzer

This movie deserves a three, but the DVD extras are so good, it gets a four. I read the book that this is based on, and that may have been my problem. I was expecting too much. I am not a fan of Leo, but I do quite enjoy Chris Walken, I think he is great in this role. However the movie tends to be a slow plodding homage to the era when the events take place. The story of how a 18 year old kid turned into the one of the greatest non violent con men in American history seems to take a backseat to Steven ... Read More

This is an interesting movie in that it is not only based on something historical, but it combines tragedy and comedy rather well.
Very quickly, we see that Frank Jr loves both his parents. And they appear to be a well off functional family. Later, a financial crisis hits, and their living standards are reduced drastically. He still loves both his parents, but we can see that he is starting to lean towards his father. After he realizes that they are getting divorced, he can't handle it and ... Read More

This is a great movie to watch for several reasons. First, it's an upbeat story of how an FBI agent helps a young man turn his life around from a life of crime to becoming a productive member of society. Second, the musical sound track is one of John Williams' best -- the movie is worth watching just for the sound track alone. Third, the performances of the cast are excellent: Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank Abagnale, the young man, Tom Hanks as the FBI agent, Christopher Walken and Nathalie Baye as Frank's ... Read More

This film was recommended to me. I was not disappointed. It is incredible to think that there are real people out there that are this clever (a bit scary too). The most amazing thing was to find that his life of crime was so exceptional, that he was able to use his knowledge for good later. An amazing true story and a "must see".
