10 Best Enemy Team-Up Moments In Movies

10. Frank Joins The Team - Catch Me If You Can

Catch Me If You Can is Stephen Spielberg's excellent telling of the real-life exploits of conman, Frank Abagnale.

Disguising himself as a pilot among other things, Frank performs millions of dollars' worth of fraud across the United States, which draws the attention of FBI Agent, Carl Hanratty.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks are brilliant as Abagnale and Hanratty respectively, forging a thrilling rivalry with one another before the law finally catches up with Frank and he is arrested.

However, who better to catch a conman than a conman?

Carl proposes a deal to Frank - he can serve out the remainder of his prison sentence in relative comfort if he agrees to join the FBI in hunting other fraudsters. Frank accepts and the one-time foes are now partners.

Hanratty might be the total opposite of his nemesis, but he is smart enough to recognise talent when he sees it. Also, having made him a part of his life for years on end, there's likely a small part of Carl's brain that doesn't want to let go of Abagnale just yet.

This is a fantastic conclusion to the movie and one that is much more satisfying that just seeing Frank get caught.
