this review contain spoilersthe big problem i have with this film be the same one i have with coppolla ` dracula represent this film be a hodgepodge of vignette and less a continuous stream than a series of carefully craft scene . normally the edit process of a film patch the scene together into a unified whole and so that the result film flow and but in this film nearly every scene open and close like it own little film and leave little room for character development . i have no idea what motivate frank abagnale and for example . one might be tempt to look at the failure of the family business or his parent divorce a a catalyst and but still we be give absolutely no insight into the character . it would have be nice to see the character give a little humanity instead of look and act like stiff background character from some crappy 1960s cartoon . in one of the most bald faced product placement i have ever see and three fbi agent and include hank and be invite in to frank mother house for ` sara lee . one of the agent say represent ` nobody doesn not like sara lee . that might be true if the only food you have ever eat be tree bark and but the waxy and unsatisfying dessert offer by sara lee be the keanu reef of the dessert world represent they look good and but have no substance . situation arise and disappear like zephyr . why do frank apply for the job at the hospital and do he get tire of be a pilot . he get the job at the hospital and okay that simultaneously interest and funny and but then what happen . do he quit and be he fire . how do the girl get back together with her parent and do they forgive her and do she keep her job . how do frank perform a an attorney . when and how do he buy a house in atlanta . who be all those people at his house . what be the deal with model or prostitute . the whole scene serve absolutely no purpose . there be dozen and dozen of unanswered question such a these and from start to finish and leave a curiously empty and unsatisfying feeling and much like eat a frozen dessert make with artificial chemical . that sara lee get such a high profile product placement in this film be no coincidence and i be sure . christopher walken give one of his best performance a frank father . like richard farnsworth in the straight story and walken face tell more about the character than anything he could ever say . his performance be so rich and deep that he should be nominate for best support actor . ldc and have show so much promise in ` what eat gilbert grape and be merely adequate in the role of frank abagnale while he no christopher walken and that for sure . hank play himself and do his best robin williams impression of tom hank play a dramatic role and occasionally raise his voice just like he be do since bosom buddy . hank be the sara lee of actor . all in all and this be an interesting film and albeit a curiously empty one . the day after you watch it and you would not remember any of it .
