Christopher Walken as the father starts out as the prototype of the con man, but he's too decent to do wrong his business fails eventually. Of course, the DiCaprio magnetism dominates the action with the many ironic twists and the miraculous and narrow escapes he pulls with an aplomb that's bewildering to the Feds, who are on his tail all the time. Tom Hanks shows great assurance and gusto with this character. He plays a game of hide-and-seek throughout the movie with Hanratty, the FBI agent that is in his trail. DiCaprio working in a vehicle that shows his talent as Frank Abagnale, a man of many faces.
He exudes charisma to fill another couple of movies.
He was a fast talker and a slick operator. It's very easy to see why all the women fall prey of this charmer. Spielberg has found a perfect actor to fill the shoes of the con man with the perfect casting of Leonardo DiCaprio. Steven Spielberg is in rare form directing this movie that doesn't have a dull moment. They create the tone for what will follow. From the opening credits design we get in the mood of this very entertaining film.
