Catch Me If You Can (2002)
A compelling cat and mouse, you'll root for the mouse.
Presentation:
Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio square off in a compelling cat and mouse in a game of wits. Leonardo is charismatic and plays and likeable conman. There's a certain style in the 2000s eras filmmaking that allows you to peer into a little time vault into the consciousness of 21st century movies. This movie encapsulates that feeling.
Conclusion:
This is a great film for the time that I'd still watch today. Best of all, it's a real story with great performances and a smart script. This is one of the better films from the beginning of the 21st century.
