A movie that tells the true story about an American con man has not yet been released in America. No, not Abignale. This is a different spin artist.

Like Abignale this man starts out losing his parents. Instead of running away, however, he is adopted. The search for his real parents leads him to master the use of law enforcement databases. Things go downhill quickly as his life becomes a game of breaking identity and trust systems.

At one point after being arrested he managed to assume the role of his own judge and orders his own bond reduced. Another time in jail he signed up for art classes and then slowly acquired green ink to dye his clothes to look like medical staff, at which point he simply walks away without detection.

The plot is definitely good security material

I Love You Phillip Morris is a 2009 comedy-drama film based on the real life events of con artist, impostor, and multiple prison escapee Steven Jay Russell played by Jim Carrey. While incarcerated, Russell falls in love with his cell mate, Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor). After Morris is released from prison, Russell escapes from prison four times in order to be reunited with Morris. The film was adapted from I Love You Phillip Morris: A True Story of Life, Love, and Prison Breaks by Steve McVicker.

Wikipedia says a release in America may happen this October. It has a great cast and good reviews from Europe and Taiwain. Watch it if you can.
