Perfect cast and a good story

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Admirable film.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order I come to Focus (2015)Plot In A Paragraph: Nicky (Smith) is a con artist whose role is decieving people for a living but when he meets a young aspiring con artist named Jesse (Margot Robbie) and takes her under his wing. This movie is dull, flat and uninspired and for someone so charismatic, Will Smith is surprisingly subdued!! Margot Robbie is very attractive and can act whilst Gerald McRaney is suitably intimidating. Focus grossed $53 million at the domestic box office, to end 2015 as the 55th highest grossing movie of the year.

'Focus' looks and sounds way more interesting than it actually is. From the title and synopsis to its stylish posters, everything suggests a cool, fresh and different film. In reality, it's pretty average. The plot fell well short of my expectations and Will Smith looks as uninvolved in this film as I think I've ever seen him.This title of this movie is quite ironic given that I found my mind wondering on more than one occasion. Any decent film should be able to hold your attention for a couple of hours, but 'Focus' fails to do that, no thanks to an underwhelming plot and unsatisfying ending. All in all, it's not the film it's made out to be. 'Focus' is disappointing and forgettable.

I would like to start this review by saying that I was honestly excited about this movie. Will Smith and Margot Robbie play two thieves who can pickpocket anybody without them knowing. Sounds interesting right? Well first of all this isn't even that big of the story. SPOILER ALERT AHEAD!After making money they decide to have a betting game against BD Wong. This scene was pretty intense especially seeing that Will keeps losing the money little by little. He continuously states, "One more game!" Eventually though they win when Margot has to guess the player BD picked out. They end up getting it right. Then after an explanation about Will Smith making BD see the number of the football player constantly. Will takes most of the money and leaves Margot in a car ride. The rest of the movie is about this boring love interest thing between Smith and Robbie. Overall is this movie good? No, it was simply boring. Was it worth watching? No, in fact I'm not watching it ever again. Who would you recommend it to? I'd say anybody who believes they should waste their time in a movie where nothing really interesting happens. Also I think this film is along the lines of a chick flick. Rating: 1 out of 10.

Not being a Will Smith fan I put off watching this film for a long time. With nothing else to watch I decided to watch it. It was a fun fluff piece. Entertaining with some twists I didn't see coming. Just a fun entertaining film. The stunning Margot Robbie is who carried the movie. She is an up and coming rising star who hopefully will not thrive on bimbo roles. I think she can carry the heavy loads just as good as Will Smith can. The movie had some good quick wit that Will Smith is known for, Margot held up her end perfectly. All in all, a fun twisty ride that you didn't know the ending until it slapped you in the face. That's rare these days.
