In the midst of veteran con man Nicky's latest scheme, a woman from his past - now an accomplished femme fatale - shows up and throws his plans for a loop (www.imdb.com).
Director: Glenn Ficarra, John Requa (I Love You Phillip Morris, Crazy, Stupid, Love)
Starring: Will Smith, Margot Robbie
Will Smith, doubt him or not, picks films well presented with tangible storylines. In Focus, Robbie and Smith are a formidable duo. This film's about daring con-artists and gamblers, one that keeps your eyes glued to the screen. Nicky (Smith) is a highly likeable conman, who picks up potential trickster Jess (Robbie). Between them and a small crew, they steal their way to the big money. Nicky and Jess's relationship blossoms, falters and blossoms again. They are the perfect couple. Their connection is obvious and feels genuine. Their flirting is cool and their arguments unsettled. Nicky's plans are threatened by her presence. The less you know about Focus, the greater the outcome. The shocks and twists are unique and hard hitting. A must see film for its originality alone.
4/5
