Finished watching Focus, staring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. The film is about con man Nicky (Smith) who comes across Jess (Robbie) a novice to the con game. Nicky takes Jess under his wing teaching her the tricks of the trade while bringing her into his gang as they pull of a few small cons in New Orleans around the time of a football match. Three years after the job in New Orleans Nicky comes out of retirement to do a job for a race car team owner to fix races by selling an opposing team a dodgy component. Nicky plans change when he meets Jess again who turns out to be dating the man who hired him. This leads to a some interesting twists and turns which effects the rest of the story. Overall it was a good film which gave an interesting insight to the world of con men and women. 7/10
