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.

Lacks Chemistry
Has its moments, but...
Starts well, but the movie, as previous reviewers have commented, is both too long and its plot seemingly too convoluted to maintain audience interest. An expert job of scissoring would have saved the day, but this does not occur. The movie goes on and on and on along a familiar track that yields only one or two mild surprises.
Fortunately, Margot Robbie is not only super-beautiful but turns in an excellent performance. Unfortunately, the same could not be said of Will Smith who way out-stays his welcome.
