Similar too the movie, "Catch Me If You Can " but much darker and even better in many ways. If you want to see a true masterpiece in film, WATCH IT ! This is in my top 100 best movies I've personally seen since birth in 1969 and I'm a movie junkie and haven't stopped in over 50 years. I can honestly say that this movie was a total surprise and delight to see for the first time . When I first saw it back in the early 90s on cable, I knew nothing about it and never saw a trailer before watching it and it probably made it twice as good to view. A 10/10watch this masterpiece now , no regrets ( and yes , if you do 4 bong hits before you watch it , it will be twice as good )
