Review of Focus (2015) by Hotfromcauldron — 01 Mar 2015
Focus is one slick blur. In this romantic comedy, half the movie is spent explaining what just happened and the other half nothing does. Smith's flim flam man falls head over heels for his fledgling grifter.
But unlike Tracey and Hepburn - Pitt and Jolie or even Newman and Redford - Smith and Robbies' banter lack rhythm and levity and there are no fireworks. Some leading men best go it alone. Even with a co-star twenty years his junior who is hot hot hot - Smith's sexual chemistry flickers.
And the third wheel- Adrian Martinez- steals the film. Surprisingly, with all it's preposterous twists - this caper telegraphs it's ending.
