CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (Theatrical Release USA 2002)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.5|5.0 Starsìììì

Catch Me If You Can—classic Leonardo DiCaprio—takes the gold cup for entertainment. This fast moving, incredible story is one of DiCaprio’s best works, captures the imagination, and keeps its audience on the edge of its seats throughout its 141 minutes. Great work for Director Steven Spielberg as he skillfully brings to full bloom the acting abilities of Tom Hanks, Christopher Walken, Martin Sheen, Josh Brolin, and Jennifer Garner.
