Catch Me If You Can is a captivating and exhilarating film that masterfully blends elements of crime, drama, and comedy. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, this biographical crime drama is based on the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a con artist who successfully assumed various identities and forged millions of dollars in fraudulent checks before his 19th birthday.

DiCaprio delivers a fantastic performance as the young and charismatic Frank, effortlessly portraying the character's intelligence, resourcefulness, and vulnerability. His ability to seamlessly switch between personas, from airline pilot to doctor to lawyer, is both mesmerizing and unnerving.

Tom Hanks shines as Carl Hanratty, the FBI agent tasked with tracking down Frank. Hanks brings depth and humanity to the role, portraying Hanratty as a dedicated and relentless pursuer who develops a begrudging admiration for Frank's ingenuity. The dynamic between DiCaprio and Hanks is the heart of the film, showcasing both the cat-and-mouse game between the two characters and the unlikely bond that forms between them. Also great to see some familiar faces.

This can be a character study that explores themes of identity, family, and the pursuit of the American Dream. Despite his criminal activities, Frank remains a sympathetic protagonist, driven by a desire for love and acceptance in the wake of his parents' divorce. The film's emotional resonance is further enhanced by its stellar supporting cast, including Christopher Walken as Frank's father and Amy Adams as his love interest.

This was fantastic. What was your reaction? Is it real :)

Such a great movie! So excited to see your reactions! 👏

By the way this is based on a real guy.. Frank Abagnale Jr. • another guy who kinda did this was Edward Wayne Edwards a serial killer outed by his daughter

Jeff K

I'm genuinely shocked that this is a first time view for ALL of you.

Flow

love this movie, great chance to do a rewatch here "Look... Frank, nobody's chasing you."

Esteban

Another Tom Hanks movie you all should watch is "A Man called Otto"

Jeff K

There is just so much charm in this movie, across the board. Leo, Hanks, Walken, Elizabeth Banks, Amy Adams... just up and down the cast, it's absolutely OOZING natural charisma.

Jeff K

"I gotta know how much of this is true." Apparently, pretty much none of it. Not surprising for a con man to make shit up, but yeah, according to some investigative journalism that's come out over the last decade or so, it seems like VERY little of the story actually happened. (Still a great movie, of course, and who knows how much is or isn't REALLY true, at this point?)

Alyssa Dyson

Love this movie 💜 Im also very excited its a first watch for you guys!

Garrett Gee

Im really curious about this... my grandfather was a FBI agent and knows the man personally. I at least know for a fact that he helped my grandpa with alot of white collar crime cases. We have a signed copy of the book and audio tape of the story(not the movie),. I would be really interested to know what journalist says its fake.... Also I dont assume everything in the movie is real because of course it isnt. I remember him saying that bit about the highschool in passing.

Watch the revenant ! It got Leonardo his first Oscar!!!

Jonathan

just curious, why do you blur out?

We say it in the description. Copyright laws. We can't distribute this property without permission or purchasing rights to distribute.

Jonathan

oh ok I was just wondering because other creators somehow are able to show the movie when they do watch alongs

Badd Medicine

It's illegal and they run risk of having their platforms shut down if the studios find out. Only a matter of time before they do. We've seen it happen.

diamond frazier

Can you guys watch the aviator Leo did an amazing job with that’s movie

K

Yet another movie that has a fantastic Broadway musical. The lead on Broadway is played by Aaron Tveit, who had just as much trouble winning his first Tony as Leo had winning an Oscar even though he deserved it long ago.

Steven Warner

Fantastic reaction fellas 👌🏻

Trey Nicholson

I worked on this musical recently! Great fun, so much good music. Very captivating to look at!

OBBlade

Not actually a true story btw. Hes a real person and a real con man, but there no evidence any of theses stories ever happened. He conned the world and sold this story.

Guys I know it's a Hollywood thing cops with fingers on the triggers of their guns.. but I don't think Spielberg would have them do that unless it was an actual thing back then, especially how many times he focused in on that. I asked my dad who is in his mi 70's, he was an MP in the Army in the early 70s when he turned 21 he went to the academy and became a cop and he's retired twice from being a cop, meaning he did a total of 45 years, 22 in one state, the rest in another. I asked him about trigger discipline. He said they didn't really start pushing that till the late 70's cause to many guys were either starting to use pistols rather than revolvers or they were manipulating the trigger pull on their revolvers and it was causing accidental misfires, including people getting shot. He said, he learned in the army don't put your finger on the trigger unless you were ready to destroy what you were pointing at, so he never did that, but he said he knew a lot of cops that did put their fingers on the trigger when they'd draw their weapon. now it just looks foreign and goofy, cause we're so used to that NOT being a thing.. but I have a feeling knowing Spielberg that was intentional.

if you liked these two working together at the end .. you guys would love White Collar the series... as Answer said ... its great ..same concept . Would do really well here. The two leads are definitely Frank and Carl type characters

Amber Walker

Anyone see revolutionary road with Leo? Great movie and reaction guys! I remember watching this for the first time in high school

TexasSnyper

Great movie and yes White Collar is a fantastic show. One of those Top Tier USA shows like Psych, Suits, and Monk.

Hannah Forster

Hey did you see She's the man? Since you thought 10 things I hate about you was fun, I think you will like this one too :)

fadyq1326y1

Does anyone else have issues with this videoplayer? it keep lagging for me, so it desyncs all the time when i try to watch movie at the same time. Tried different browsers aswell with no luck. Anyone know of any fixes?

utafoxy

Decided to watch this cause I love white collard and I believe it was inspired by this

david baye

Thank you very much for the insight! Makes sense when you think about how heavy the trigger is on an old revolver vs a pistol!

Ryan Towell

One who has been an instructor in the past, been in the military, went through a law enforcement academy, worked in law enforcement and still carry for my job.. seeing this does make me cringe but I have remember we have all these safety rules in place because of the past. But yeah, I would imagine back then if you pulled your weapon then you must be in the mindset of needing to use it, and if you need to use it, you might need to get a shot off in close quarters very quickly, so I can see why they did that, especially when like an old .38 had a pull weight of like 12-15 pounds and 4-6 with a single action pull. Crazy...I do remember when we transitioned from the .357 to the Glock 22 and it felt like shooting a pellet gun. So easy.. :)

Alanna Meyers

I’m so glad this was a first watch for all of you cause that doesn’t happen often. I love this movie a lot. Thanks for the awesome reaction. And I just know Oak went down a rabbit hole after what he read after the movie 🤣

Alysha Acierno

you guys should watch 'White Chicks.' One of my favourite comedies of all time and (at least for my generation) an absolute classic <3

JD Galbraith

If you like this. I’d suggest The Fugitive movie with Harrison Ford.
