CATCH ME IF YOU CAN – A BRIEF REVIEW
The movie “Catch Me If You Can” is the story of a boy, Frank, who is taught by his father the art of being a successful criminal and escape the crime scene.
In his journey to manhood, he becomes a doctor, a pilot, and a lawyer without ever attending a day of schooling. He deceives and swindles the government of millions dollars. He writes the bad checks to the government. He is always changing his professions to stay ahead of the police and out of jail.
Once he is on the verge of being caught, but he pretends to be a Secret Service Agent so that he can get rid of the police officer who has been on his trail from the start.
This movie is full of surprises of the criminal activities done by Frank. He finally once get caught and sent to jail. The bigger surprise takes place when he is offered to join FBI since he is an expert at writing bad checks. Therefore they consider Frank a good option to catch bad checks and help FBI.
This is overall a great movie to watch. I would certainly recommend this movie to you.
