FOCUS

(2015) 105 Minutes, Rated R

Mike's Review: Not too bad of a movie. A little slow and dragged out but it was entertaining enough. It was interesting seeing the whole network of thieves banding together and working as a well oiled unit in New Orleans.   

Will Smith's character could have been played by anyone, Smith really didn't bring anything to the table and in fact, it was kind of a off role for him, which made it a little weird to watch. Margot Robbie on the other hand I thought did a nice job on her part.

Best Scene:  I thought the football betting scene was the best.

Mike's Rating: Matinee.

Bean's Review: I always enjoy watching Will Smith.  His movies are usually worthy of watching more than once.  However, this movie, although entertaining enough, is not really worth watching again.

  

Smith plays a con man who mentors a beautiful blonde, played by Margot Robbie, and ends up falling in love with her, thus supposedly losing focus on the con.  The cons are very involved and sometimes hard to follow.

  

It was good to see Gerald McRaney in a movie.  He plays Smith’s pseudo father, which leads into a twist ending that was a bit unexpected.

Best scene:  the betting scenario at the football game-pretty intense

Bean’s Rating:  matinee/DVD – too long for the storyline
