Focus Film Review

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
