CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

Another Steven Spielberg movie, this one isn't along the lines you might expect. It's a story inspired by the true life of a man named Frank Abagnale, a con-man from the early 50s who duped a number of people out of a lot of money before he reached the age of 19. It's interesting, since during that time there was no computer network or databases the FBI could rely on to track down an individual such as this.

I found the movie to be fascinating - how such a young fellow could so completely fool adults and rake in so much money in the process.

Catch Me If You Can, starring Leonardo DiCaprio (Frank Abagnale, JR), Tom Hanks (FBI agent Carl Hanratty), Christopher Walken (Frank Abagnale, SR), and Martin Sheen (Attorney Roger Strong), was released in 2002 and rated PG-13 for some strong language and some sexual content.

It's at times very humorous and certainly interesting as this bright young fellow pulls his cons on everyone regardless of their status or position.
