Catch Me If You Can

Watched it last night on TNT...Very interesting story on Frank Abagnale, one of the most accomplished swindlers ever. Great movie, made me read more about him this morning. Always find scammers very interesting to read about

I remember getting the DVD when it first came out. Although long, it was interesting enough to sit through a few times as I introduced it to a few friends/a neighbor.

I've seen it quite a few times (as it's a few years old) and still love it.

He was a con artist extraordinaire and probably one of the century's most cunning swindlers. His talent for deceiving the authorities and cheating banks, airlines and hotels out of millions of dollars was unprecedented.

Amateur. The good ones do it for a living and do it legally.

We can only comment with the tread we have, not the tread we may wish we had.
