A film described as a masterpiece and iconic will be leaving Netflix soon. Fans of the classic Catch Me If You Can have only a few days left to watch it on the streaming platform, as it has been confirmed it will leave Netflix on June 3. The 2002 comedy, produced by Steven Spielberg, stars big names including Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, and has an impressive 96% rating on the film review website Rotten Tomatoes.

The synopsis on Rotten Tomatoes reads: “Frank Abagnale, Jr. works as a doctor, a lawyer and as a co-pilot for a major airline, all before his 18th birthday. A master of deception, he is a brilliant forger, whose skill gives him his first real claim to fame.”

It continues: “At the age of 17, Frank Abagnale, Jr. becomes the most successful bank robber in the history of the US. FBI Agent Carl Hanratty makes it his prime mission to capture Frank and bring him to justice, but Frank is always one step ahead of him.”

The comedy has been praised by both critics and viewers over the years, with a number of people putting it in their top five films or even as their favourite.

Many also highlight it as one of Spielberg’s greatest works, with Chicago Reader writing: “Catch Me if You Can is one of those deceptively slight offerings that manages to reveal more about its maker than the intended masterpieces often do.”

One fan on Rotten Tomatoes said the film “should go down in the history of iconic movies.”

A second wrote: “A complete masterpiece throughout the ages.”

Echoing this, another said: “A masterpiece. I was entertained from beginning to end and Leo is fantastic.”

Others described it as an “All Time Classic”, as well as a “must-see classic”.
