Focus (2015)
Will Smith is a con man who takes an inexperienced small-time grifter under his wing and falls in love… or does he?
This movie reminded me a lot of “Now You See Me.” There were loads of nifty tricks but not much heart and even less chemistry. It felt as though I was being jerked around just because and, as a result, I didn’t much care whether the people I was supposed to be rooting for got caught, killed or walked away with a bundle. I was just never invested nor was I having any fun.
