Focus delivers plenty of shocking twists, solid humour and extremely impressive production values from beginning to end, making it a great thriller even if the romance side of the film feels a little underutilized and overly safe.

Will Smith plays squarely to his strengths, resulting in a performance and character that's naturally funny and charming. Margot Robbie has great chemistry with Smith and is able to be equally funny and charismatic.

The direction by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa is fantastic, the film is one of the cleanest and slickest in recent memory with methodical camera work. The soundtrack is really good, especially since some of the songs chosen serve a clever narrative purpose.

I am a huge fan of Will Smith's acting and adorable Margot Robbie, she's stunning and is in my mind the best female actress out there by far. She's improved a lot since this film was made even.

Although the concept of watching grifters operate was interesting it just couldn't ever seem to elevate or establish a solid story. Instead you watch just kind of waiting and expecting Smiths character and Robbie's character all in love. The awkward part about it though is that despite that being what the film is going for, I don't really see any on screen chemistry between Smith and Robbie. At the very least it feels very artificial.

The scene at the football game is epic though. That scene alone made the film worth watching for me. Brilliantly set up and acted by all involved. In fact I'd recommend you skip the movies and just watch that scene on YouTube.
