Catch Me if You Can Limited Edition Steelbook

This is one of my all-time favorite movies. Tom Hanks and Leonardo Di'Caprio fit the characters perfectly! The never-ending cycle of chasing and running keeps you hooked until the very end. The whole plot was thought out perfectly and I would not want to change a single thing about this film. If you are wanting to watch a movie well worth your time and money, this is the one to watch.

One of my favorite movies! Leonardo and Hanks game of cat and mouse is very entertaining. It's an interesting concept to make you question who you want to come out on top, and that feeling follows you throughout the movie. Based on a true story, this is a must watch!

One of the best movies we’ve seen!!!! Crazy that it’s based on a true story!

Great story, well acted, well crated.

No spoilers, just know that T Hanks is a great actor and both of them do a great job in this movie. Well worth a watch

I bought this for my streaming library. (Never imagined I'd say those words in a sentence together, let alone understand what it means! Technology is changing too fast for comfort, but I'm already stuck sitting on top the avalanche!)Had this movie first on VHS tape. Excellent acting as always by Leo & Tom Hanks. Amy Adams, Martin Sheen, & Christopher Walken were all terrific as well. And the brief scene with Elizabeth Banks as an airheaded bank teller was funny. I think by now everyone has seen this or heard of it, so enough said.

It's all in the title... The movie is fantastic, worth plenty of rewatches. The new steelbook is absolutely beautiful, one of my current favorites out of the hundreds I own.

The film directed by Steven Spielberg is, if but loosely based on a true story telling of how a teenager Frank Abagnale (played in the film by Leonardo DiCaprio) after the breakup of his parents marriage, runs away and over a period of 3/4 years not only evades capture by the F.B.I, he manages to accumulate around $4 million by cashing cheques he has learned to forge.Initially Frank jnr. manages to con his way into becoming an airline-pilot cashing forged pay-cheques, the deception takes several weeks to surface bringing F.B.I agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) on the case of finding young Frank.However, changing his name frequently helps him stay one step ahead of his pursuers, even changing his profession along the way to that of a Doctor.Carl Hanratty will get close of several occasions to catching the young con-man, however, the teen remains alert to the threat.Young Frank will even try his hand at being a Lawyer and almost marry the boss's daughter.Frank's luck will eventually run out, but, he'll Kinda still have the last laugh.The film also stars Christopher Walken as Frank's father and Martin Sheen as his boss in the Law-Firm.A film I myself haven't watched for many years, had forgotten just how good and often amusing the film really if.....Until now.With a great cast line-up the film is certainly worthy of a revisit or indeed first viewing

Catch Me If You Can is a highly satisfying 141 minutes of film drama.The film follows the true, captivating story of Frank Abagnale Jr. - depicted flawlessly (and I mean flawlessly) by the ever-impressive Leonardo DiCaprio. Abagnale was 'the most successful bank robber in history' whose initiative, cunning and determination saw him con doctors, lawyers, policemen and airline pilots. However, FBI Agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) is forever hot on Abagnale's trail and the subsequent cat-and-mouse chase never gets boring.The acting? Superb. The plot? Original. The dialogue? Realistic. The message? Lasting. 'Catch Me If You Can' is satirical and funny but ever poignant and mesmerizing - it raises important questions in the minds of the viewers; questions of morality, of meaning and of the power of the individual to overcome so many obstacles.If you haven't seen Spielberg's 'Catch Me If You Can', with its brilliant acting and stellar cast, you simply are missing out big time.

What a clever film! Fantastic plot twist. Based on a true story (as are some of the best films of all time). Leonardo put so much effort into researching the real life Mr Abignail and it really pays off. Fantastic acting by both DiCaprio and Hanks. It reawakens a childish imagination of what it could be like to live in someonelse's shoes and explores some interesting and still massively relevant issues of how society responds to people differently just by the clothes they wear or the documents they carry. You get totally absorbed into the story and whilst you realise that Mr Abignail is clearly a criminal, you know the reason why he is behaving that way and you sympathise with him. Who's side will you take? Who do you root for? When I first watched it I changed my mind on this multiple times, and still do every time I watch it. How refreshing! So many films are so black and white good vs evil, but this one is far more entertaining because it forces you to really think hard about who is in the right.The attention to detail in the film is incredible. On a par with 'The Terminal' for the immersive story, the societal issue sit addresses, the characters and the general atmosphere of the film.

Frank loves his parents. He loves the way they love each other. His heart breaks when he realizes that one of them is `cheating' on the other. He starts masquerading. They are now divorcing. He has to choose to live with one or other parent. He is 16. He chooses but is traumatized. (I was not traumatized not knowingly anyway; I was five). His deceptions increase. He continues to love his chosen parent. His grip on reality lessens as his masquerades become more outlandish. He is now travelling extensively but still writes `home'. He keeps wanting his parents to be together again but by now, his other parent has remarried. He finds out. He is in disbelief; simply not acceding to the possibility. More deceptions lead eventually to capture. He even escapes that process briefly to see his other parent. His looking through the window... is so poignant. It ends with his new parent figure. For me, this is a very moving story (with some personal resonance). The film is beautifully acted and paced. John Williams' music is perfect. Love of parents and one in particular, permeates this entire film.

Leonardo DiCaprio (or is it Matt Damon as the close comparison is sometimes made) seems to really enjoy himself in this telling of a true story.As we view the main events of his life from over his shoulder.We see he wares out more lives than the preverbial cat.Closely pursued by the FBI character of Tom Hanks who always seems to be one step behind .At first with little good fortune and later with eventual persistence both catches and turns his man for "poacher to gamekeeper".Another notable performer is Christopher Walken as the main characters father.An extremely watchable and enjoyable movie you'll view again and again
