And yet, given that this is a James Bond movie, it’s also suave and thrilling. The film is intense but also surprisingly humanistic and sensitive, with Bond and Vesper considering the impact of actually killing another human being. The film is a semi-origin story for 007 as it rebooted the series to focus on a younger and more green James Bond who is tasked with sniffing out a bankrupt terrorist financier (played by Mads Mikkelsen), and along the way he teams up with a treasury employee played by Eva Green. In that way, “Catch Me If You Can” is something of a love letter to Spielberg’s own father after his string of “Bad Dad” movies like “E.T.” and “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” Casino Royale EON/MGM/SonyĪrguably the best James Bond movie ever made, 2006’s “Casino Royale” forever changed the franchise and introduced Daniel Craig as a more vulnerable iteration of the character. This was rooted in Spielberg’s discovery that his parents’ divorce was not, as he and his siblings were led to believe, because his father left, but instead because his mother fell in love with someone else and his father didn’t want the kids to blame her. Like many of Spielberg’s films, divorce is a theme here, but unlike those other movies this one finds DiCaprio’s father (played by Christopher Walken) as the jilted one while his mother leaves to start a new family. Tom Hanks plays the FBI agent hot on his trail, and Spielberg delights in chronicling the jet-set era of the 1960s. Low-key one of Steven Spielberg’s most personal films, 2002’s “Catch Me If You Can” finds Leonardo DiCaprio filling the role of a real-life con man who impersonated a pilot, doctor and lawyer all while still being a teenager. To say more would spoil the fun, but this one’s a treat.
All is not what it seems, however, and Joy’s character discovers she’s in for something much different than she expected. If you’re into darkly comic satires, serve up “The Menu.” Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult star as a well-to-do couple who travel to a remote island near New York to have a premiere dining experience, in which Ralph Fiennes and his teams of chefs will prepare a multi-course meal right in front of these exclusive guests.
