Catch Me If You Can is a fun and entertaining movie about Frank Abagnale Jr., a con man who made millions before his 19th birthday. This cat and mouse chase is wild, but all based on a true story. While leaving room for fun, the film simultaneously tells us the intriguing story about the real life con man.
One of the most interesting things that I found in this story is that there is no antagonist. Leonardo DiCaprio's portrayal of the con man is that of a likable and charismatic kid looking to make some fun trouble all the while cashing in checks. If there ever was an antagonist, one may be so inclined to say it could be Carl Hanratty, the detective set on Frank's case. However, the end of the film reaches a fulfilling conclusion as Frank is eventually caught, but becomes one of the authoritative figure of determining forged checks.
Overall, this is a very fun film that I think all would enjoy. It has a healthy dosage of seriousness accompanied by childish antics. Conclusion: Worth A Watch
Rating: 8/10
