Focus will smith movie#
His movie career started with Six Degrees Of Separation, where he played a high-society scammer. It was wonderful to watch Will Smith evolve. Oh wait–there was action in the movie! Or am I conning you? So much attention that it landed a bullet in Nicky’s chest. Oh and did we mention that his abs showed up more than once? His character devoted way too much of his attention to getting Jess to fall in love with him. There’s so much opulence in the film, you think that at some point Margot Robbie’s (Jess) husband from Wolf Of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort( Leonardo DiCaprio) will show up to sniff lines off a diamond-encrusted glass table, which would have been amazing! (Spoiler alert: Leo does not make a cameo).īut that’s ok, we didn’t need Leo when Will Smith was absolutely charismatic without being corny. If you want to see a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde navigate through a web of lies, money and more lies, Focus is the movie for you. If you’re going because you want to see something blow up, Focus isn’t the movie for you. Yes, there was blood, but honestly, the bloody scene was the only real action in the entire hour and 45 minutes. Two con-artists falling in love in sexy locations like New Orleans and Buenos Aires makes for a lot of hurt feelings, lies, duct taped mouths and blood. While you’re trying to figure out how this coincidence happened, we learn that Jess is dating the man who hired Nicky to help with a big race car engineering con. But then Jess waltzes right back into Nicky’s life, three years later, looking like Jessica Rabbit, slinking down the stairs of the exact same hotel Nicky was staying in, halfway around the world in Buenos Aires.
Why? He’s a con artist and they ain’t got time for love! It’s a distraction. Jess and Nicky were already an item (read: sleeping together between cons) by the time the football game con was carried out, but Nicky literally leaves Jess in a pool of her own tears right after. The con at the football game is enough to make you like the entire movie, showing you exactly how detailed and disciplined the plan had to be, to carry it out with success. The scene fully captures what Focus wants us to focus on–conning is never-ending and there’s no way to know if what you’re experiencing is actually reality. An ear hustling Chinese businessman (played by BD Wong) joined in and we nervously watched Nicky (who was pre-warned not to gamble– was this a con?) lose on ridiculous bets with the rich, but crazy Chinese man. Nicky took Jess to a football game in New Orleans’ Superdome and they began making friendly bets between one another. One major scene that will make you scoot to the front of your plush movie seat is Nicky and Jess’ first job together. We got to see the the inner workings of Smith’s thievery and the intelligent ways his con operation carried out their plans and that was where the excitement began and ended. The scenes where the film’s writer and director team, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa ( Crazy Stupid Love) explained the intricate bait-and-switch con moments were brilliant. According to Nicky, there is no “big con” only smaller ones where everyone gets a hefty cut without too much attention alerting authorities. She landed a job with him at an underground bootlegging, con-artisty warehouse operation where they all make money working together to distract the world, steal debit and credit cards from their victims and replace them without anyone ever noticing. Jess came into Nicky’s life by way of wristwatch thievery after Nicky noticed her quick hands. MUST READ: Will Smith & Jimmy Fallon Dance Hip-Hop Through The Years & We’re Like Yasss!
