THE REEL DEAL: by Ben Show

FOCUS REVIEW

ISSUES

MOBILE 
DEVICE!

Will Smith’s past few movies 
have not been that great. He 
has not only chosen weak 
projects but also given 
bad performances. With 
mediocre talent in front 
of and behind the camera, 
my expectations for ‘Focus’ 
were very low.

 An old pro in the con 
game, Nicky (Will Smith) is 
approached by a newcomer, 
the mysterious and talented Jess (Margot Robbie); however, when 
Nicky abandons her, she must learn to survive on her own. When 
their paths cross again years later, she becomes an unexpected 
variable in Nicky’s last, and most ambitious, con.

 ‘Focus’ is an interesting movie. It is by no means one of the 
best movies I have ever seen, yet, at the same time, I will not be 
forgetting it anytime soon. For what it is, ‘Focus’ proved to be 
far better than expected, with the standout being the chemistry 
between Smith and Robbie. Together, they dominate the screen 
and provide a slight comeback for Smith, who will hopefully be 
acting like he does in this movie in all of his future projects.
