Spielberg brings his special touch to the table and maintains the thrill of the chase throughout the film. Composer John Williams brings his usually excellent touch to the proceedings with a gorgeous score brimming with jazz riffs and some lovely musical cues. The score is emotionally moving when needed and great at upping the tempo. The film also features Nat King Cole's masterpiece: The Christmas Song. I never knew the song before this film, but now I listen to it every Christmas - and every time I finish this film.
Catch Me If You Can is an emotional drama that is so easily watchable, you get lost in the movie. Then two hours later, you realize: "Wow, that was awesome!"
