HUGE

Probably one of the most relaxing films ever made. Surprisingly this film was not made by the guy who did Amistad or Saving Private Ryan. Steven Spielberg became a different kind of director with the script written by Jeff Nathanson. The director and writer have a lot of heart to an entertaining story. The true story of Frank Abagnale is a about a teenager who pretended to be a lawyer, a doctor, and a pilot. As he imitated all three, he stole up to $4 million. Rather than make this all seem wrong, this film portrays Frank Abagnale, with the help of Leonardo Di Caprio, as a boy who chose to become a con man because of how he lived. 

When you think about, how come after Spielberg made so many movies, he hadn't worked with Christopher Walken or Martin Sheen. Well now the wait is over. Christopher Walken looks like he is having a fun time playing Frank Abagnale's father. He knows what he's saying his wrong but it's the best he can do as a father. Martin Sheen comes in late but it is Tom hanks who steals the show. Tom Hanks is a perfect choice for the no nonsense Carl Hanratty. The best parts of the movie are the phone conversations between Tom hanks and Leonardo Di Caprio on Christmas Eve.

What a good film!  I recommend this one very highly, the only thing I’ll warn you about is that it is long, and you do feel it at some points.  Despite that fact, it is a well-made, well-acted, engrossing and highly entertaining film.  Knowing it is based on a true story makes it even better.

Basically, Leonardo Di Caprio plays a young man from a bankrupt, broken home who finds the means to survive, and, in fact, thrive by becoming a counterfeiter/con-man.  Tom Hanks plays the relentless FBI agent obsessed with catching the boy.  The two play an entertaining cat-and-mouse game all over the country and beyond.

Side Note: Christopher Walken did a great job playing the boy’s father.  Anyone who calls himself or herself a Walken fan needs to see him in this serious and heartbreaking roll which, in my humble opinion, is worth an Oscar nod.

This is a fun movie.  A really, really great movie.  The movie was entertaining as hell, Christopher Walken was amazing, Tom Hanks told  a funny joke in a Boston accent and I laughed throughout.

See it.  That's really all I have to say about that.
