Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:18:13 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author carstairs38 - Catch Me if You Can is one of those movies that defies classification. It is part character study, part cop and robber chase, and even part buddy picture. And while it isn't perfect, all the pieces really seem to hold together. Frank Abagnale...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author neotech - Leonardo Dicaprio, I liked him in the beach and I think he is a clever actor generally. And I shouldn't forget Tom Hanks a mega actor. This I think was definitely a good choice of movie for both of them. Based on a true story about Frank William...

Tue, 3 Jun 2003 15:01:32 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author jarvococker - As I watched CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, Steven Spielberg's thoroughly entertaining romp of a film, I couldn't help but think that the movie glamorizes crimes depicted on the screen--in fact REVELS in them. But then again, doesn't "Ocean's 11?" Doesn't "The...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author telynor - Frank Abagnale Jr (Leonardo DiCaprio) is charming, and has more than just a glib tongue on him. He's got charisma, and in spades. And he can spin a lie out and reel you right in.

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author CyndiA - Generally I don’t get all charged up by a “cop-and-robber” movie. If you’ve seen one handsome Billy-the-Kid chased by the rugged but sometimes bungling sheriff type, then you’ve seen most everything in the western or shoot-em-up...
