THE
film is one of the best life stories
placed on to celluloid in a long time.
Based on a book made by Frank Abagnale Jr. and Stan Redding,
this is a
very entertaining and well crafted film. Steven Spielberg,
once again proves he is the king of the
movies. Leonardo
Di Caprio plays a fantastic role and the back up
of a staggeringly high amount of background research,
he quickly draw you in to a world of a young lad
who is less than what he seams. This is a
world of loneliness and pretence. The
story is simple, it is set around Frank Abagnale
Jr, who possibly the best and now one of the
most well known and respected con artists of all
time. The film tells you why and who
he set about living the life style that he found
him self in. You see him pass himself off as several identities and
the FBI agent hot on his trail.
It deals with serious issues of marriage brake
up, debt, love and lowliness and is more than
just a life story. It will make you laugh,
but also it will make you feel very
uneasy. This film is a good four
stars.
