With help from a strong performance by Leonardo DiCaprio as real-life wunderkind con artist Frank Abagnale, Steven Spielberg crafts a film that's stylish, breezily entertaining, and surprisingly sweet.

Namrata Joshi Outlook A hugely watchable film that disappoints nonetheless. Rated: 2/4 Jan 3, 2019 Full Review Nell Minow Common Sense Media Excellent account of FBI's youngest Most Wanted. Rated: 5/5 Dec 22, 2010 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out This is the director's most likeable film in ages, even if it's insubstantial, overlong and, frankly, a touch redundant. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand Spielberg beautifully creates the culture of the 1950s nuclear family shattered and the American Dream soured. Apr 8, 2023 Full Review Cory Woodroof Nashville Scene "[a] phenomenal Leonardo DiCaprio/Tom Hanks caper..." Nov 3, 2022 Full Review Jim Rohner Battleship Pretension Catch Me If You Can is probably one of the best films amongst Spielberg's minor titles, saying more positively about the man's talent than it says anything negatively about the film.

Fabrícia F A saga de um jovem vigarista (Leonardo DiCaprio) que no auge da vida, segue aplicando golpes para se dar bem em detrimento dos outros. Só não contava com a persistência de um competente policial (Tom Hanks) que faz dessa, a missão de captura mais importante de sua carreira. Brilhante, genial, perspicaz. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/24 Full Review Artin S Such a smart movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Lucas T Very watchable.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/24 Full Review matthew w This was always going to be a great movie with a cast led by Di Caprio, Hanks & Walken & directed by Spielberg. Telling the true story of con artist Frank Abagnale Jnr who constantly evades the FBI. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/25/24 Full Review Read all reviews
