This is just sheer, escapist entertainment from start to finish. Read full review

What keeps the film humming along as smoothly as it does is the chemistry and charisma of its leads. Read full review

Focus never quite comes into clear view. It's a muddled and twisting romantic caper that at times feels like Steven Soderbergh lite. Read full review

Empire Nick de Semlyen

Feb 25, 2015

This is maximum-gloss entertainment with its fair share of tricksy rug-pulls. But, like one of the neon-coloured cocktails Smith drinks in it, it’s more of an immediate rush than something you’ll remember in a year. Read full review

This con artist caper from the writer/director duo behind "Bad Santa" and "I Love You Philip Morris" bears some superficial resemblance to the 2005 romantic comedy "Hitch." Read full review

Will Smith may have run through every trick in his bag. In Focus, the one-time fresh prince and former box-office champ looks tired, bored and, even worse, uninspired. Read full review

I loved Focus!!!' This movie was very sophisticated, I laughed, I almost cried a few times, I said to my self no please don't do that so many times as well.

Will Smith plays a master con man/thief, who takes an "intern" (Margot Robbie) under his wing.

They get deeper and deeper into the deceptive world of fast fingers and fast-talking, while their romance complicates matters. The twists provide a few surprises and the characters are interesting (esp. Robbie, who's not only beautiful, but charismatic). The pace gets thick before it ends, but it's still slick and entertaining escapism.… Expand

Entertaining And Fun To Watch! Will Smith And Margot Robbie Both Look Amazing Which Makes It Easy To Stay Glued To The Screen. Plot Is Simple And Pretty Predictable Quite Frankly. But Altogether Worth The Watch For Sure!

Watered down version of Oceans 11 rip off. Misleading title! But it goes with how the film is supposed to make you FOCUS on the con games the characters act out, all the while, the movie audience are the ones being scammed. Good start, lousy finish!

Focus starts out great, following in the footsteps of some of the terrific con films (it pays homage to) by being confident and strong enough to let the audience be a part of the con. Once the film abandons that approach, though, and relies instead on weak deception and convenient twists,Focus starts out great, following in the footsteps of some of the terrific con films (it pays homage to) by being confident and strong enough to let the audience be a part of the con. Once the film abandons that approach, though, and relies instead on weak deception and convenient twists, the audience is no longer the film’s partner. Instead, the audience becomes the film’s mark, and no one wants to be taken like that.… Expand
