With a hot cast including Will Smith and The Wolf of Wall Street s Margot Robbie Focus could be the new It film. Centering on con man Nicky Spurgeon (Will) who teaches the ropes to Jess Barrett (Margot) as he falls in love with her critics are commenting on everything from their performance story elements and the plot as a whole. Here s what they re saying
Focus Movie Reviews Do Critics Love Or Loathe ItThe reviews are in and though most critics seem to have mixed thoughts on the actual plot of the movie it seems like the game changer is the stellar chemistry between Will and Margot.
TIME Magazine
Ficarra and Requa the authors of this script that everyone and nobody wanted to star in finally settled on Will Smith 46 and Margot Robbie the 24 year old blond Aussie who shared Leonardo DiCaprio s bed (and a ton of cocaine) inThe Wolf of Wall Street. The mix of longtime star and minx on the rise is one tasty element in the success of a movie that approaches the modest goals and effortless allure of a 60 year old Hitchcock.
Take Our PollNew York Post
Writer directors Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are thin on the motivations (it s never really clear whether Nicky and Jess are simply using one another not that we care). It s not that the movie keeps you guessing with its intricacy it s more like it s making it up as it goes along.
New York Times
The preposterousness of the story doesn t seem like a rip off since the twists in the plot for the most part pay off nicely. Mostly it is fun to watch Will Smith and Margot Robbie and to marvel at whatever divine or evolutionary miracle concentrated so much charisma in the two of them.
The Christian Science Monitor
This is the kind of movie where we re not supposed to know at any time who is playing whom but since the characterizations are glossy and paper thin it s difficult to get worked up about who gets fleeced.
Chicago Sun Times
Smith and Robbie are terrific together. At various points along the way he s playing her and then she s playing him and then we re almost positive they ve let their collective guard down and they re really in love
Or are they
Los Angeles Times
The Hollywood stakes for Smith are as high as they are for the con man he plays. As it stands Focus just might be a game changer.
So HollywoodLifers now that you ve read the reviews of Focus will you be seeing the flick in theaters Let us know
