A very likeable crime caper from Steven Spielberg, featuring very good performances from both Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio.

All around great job, for this excellent movie. There are so many great performances in this movie it's staggering. Steven Spielberg pulls off yet another great movie, and adds one to his endless list of fantastic movies. Leonardo DiCaprio is really good, and Tom Hanks does a good job as well. 10/10.

Wow! A perfected casted and directed movie about the brilliant Frank Abiginale who has to adapt to different situations in order to escapte capture. Tom Hanks was outstanding as the cop trying to capture Leonardo DiCaprio's Frank, but Frank always remained one step ahead of the cop.

  Part of Spielberg's skill as a filmmaker comes in choosing the right collaborators. Janusz Kaminski's gorgeous cinematography, Michael Kahn's graceful editing, Jeff Nathanson's clever script, and John Williams' score all work well in unison, but the film's masterstroke is the casting of Walken as DiCaprio's utterly decent father.

  It's brilliantly acted. But best of all, it's brilliantly made.

  Results in about the nicest movie you could ask for at the holidays: a gently funny, sweetly adventurous film that makes you feel genuinely good, that is to say, entirely unconned by false sentiment or sharp, overmanipulative Hollywood practices.

  Never less than engaging; all that’s missing is a proper crescendo. The picture moves along briskly, even at two and a half hours, but it seems to be running on cruise control.

  Everything about this swift and gorgeous and tremendously enjoyable film is played out in a rush of staccato edits, crisp performances, and charmingly giddy subplots that coalesce into Spielberg's most purely entertaining movie in years.

  Breezy and easy to swallow. Its maker, Steven Spielberg, hasn't had so much fun in two decades.

  Spielberg must have sensed that he owed us some fun, and the movie has a sleek and carefree look -- the lightness of a sixties comedy, made with the extraordinary speed and panache of our most fluent director. This is a true holiday film, a gift from some genuine pros who know how to entertain without sweat. [23 & 30 December 2002, p. 166]

  Like a trot around the track for the thoroughbreds involved, and one of the results is that it takes them far too long to get to the finish line.

  As an actor DiCaprio has long been known for his ardor, not to mention his tiresome self-seriousness, but working for Spielberg, he plays his scenes with a comic deftness I thought he didn't have in him.

  Based on the real-life exploits of Frank W. Abagnale but played more for myth than believability.

  Spielberg directs so fluently that it takes a while to perceive how well made the film is.

  Feels more like The Bill Clinton Story than "Primary Colors" (1998). It's a paean to naughty boys who dream of potency and become enraptured by their own scams -- a great American archetype.
