Nicky Spurgeon is an extremely accomplished con man who takes an
amateur con artist, Jess, under his wing. Nicky and Jess become romantically
involved, and with Nicky's profession of being a liar and a cheater for a
living, he realizes that deception and love are things that don't go together.
They split, only to see each other three years later... And things get messy.

FOCUS is written and directed by Gleen Ficarra and John
Requa and Produced by Denise Di Novi. I had wanted to see this film since
seeing the trailers way back. I felt this was a very entertaining film filled
with this incredible air of sensuality and sexuality due to the chemistry
brought by Will Smith and Margot Robbie. To my memory there hasn’t been
recently a couple that has fired up the screen like that in awhile. Outside of
that the story was rather tight getting to see the underside of a con mans life
was interesting, but very glossy and shiny making it look almost glamorous.
That is cool, yet I would have loved to seen something a little more gritty,
true to life. Overall I felt FOCUS was entertaining so I give it 3 stars.
