Pure unadulterated fun
I was having so much fun being sucked into the make believe world of Frank Abagnale (Leonardo diCaprio) that when the end of the film came I was totally gutted, wanting more and more. This tale, based on events chronicled in Abagnale's autobiography, shows young Frank blagging and hoodwinking his way to a fortune. The kind of people who succumbed to having the wool pulled over their eyes were airlines for whom he co-piloted, hosptitals and hookers. As he delves into greater and greater acts of fraud, he becomes a key FBI target and its the job of Tom Hanks character to reel him in. Unfortunately he is the prime 'hoodwinkee'. More than just a cartoon style cat and mouse caper, it has emotional depth thanks to the excellent father-son undercurrent which sheds light on Franks motives. Great, great fun.
