The true story of a real fake.

Genres

Biography,Crime,Drama

Storyline;

A true story about Frank Abagnale Jr. who, before his 19th birthday, successfully conned millions of dollars worth of checks as a Pan Am pilot, doctor, and legal prosecutor. An FBI agent makes it his mission to put him behind bars. But Frank not only eludes capture, he revels in the pursuit.

Review;

A true story about a guy named Frank Abagnale who managed to con millions of dollars that too during teenage years where kids most probably dont even know how to earn a dime.

That aside, the movie is superbly shot with sad yet ravishing ambient music to that perfectly resonates the escapades of a young Frank which is again spectacularly depicted by none other than Leonardo Di Caprio.

Amy Adams as usual shines in this movie as a charming lady and Christoph walken is amazing in the role of Frank Abagnale senior who is  the tired yet proud con artist who is famished to see his son follow his fathers footsteps yet also knows the labor this profession brings.

Tom Hanks is your average detective who hunts abagnale and in the end helps Frank exonerate in the end. His role is based on the real life det. Carl Hanratty who captured the infamous con artist and gave him a proper direction.

All in all this movie is amazing and you dont have to read Franks life story before hand to enjoy the movie, as the flick does an amazing job in narrating this con artists' tale to us.

Its about time we learn about that infamous legend , whose actions single handedly shaped the financial instruments' industry as it is they are today.

12 QUOTES ABOUT HUMANITY CLICK THE LINK BELOW CIGARETTES: A ROMANCE 7 MINDSET SHIFTS War. Poverty. Crime. Hunger. With all of the injustices that exist in today’s world, it can be easy to lose faith in humanity. We may ask ourselves, “Why should we care if no one else does? Nothing ever seems to change or get any better, so we might as well accept the world as it is.” Although it is important to acknowledge the existing injustices and view them as serious issues that need to be resolved, it is equally important for us to realize our own part in seeing those solutions become part of reality. The following quotes about humanity may explain and hopefully inspire us: 1.     “You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” – Mahatma Gandhi 2.     “To deny people their human rights is to challenge their very humanity.” – Nelson Mandela 3.     “Love and ...
