Focus Movie Reviews: Pros, CONS and Everything in Between

Focus stars Will Smith as a con artist who takes on an inexperienced apprentice in the gorgeous form of Margot Robbie.


Ignoring that silly talk about a Robbie-Smith affair that surfaced in late 2013, movie fans simply want to know: Is Focus worth their time and money?


As you can see below, Focus reviews are mixed from critics around the country, but all at least agree: it's better than After Earth!

Focus is like the beginner con artist that Margot Robbie plays in the film - not nearly as smart as it thinks it is, but smart enough to steal the price of a ticket from your pocket without you minding too much. - Rob Thomas


Someone decided to put a heaping helping of romantic comedy in my heist movie, and it does not taste good. - Willie Waffle


The mix of longtime star and minx on the rise is one tasty element in the success of a movie that approaches the modest goals and effortless allure of a 60-year-old Hitchcock. - Richard Corliss


It all adds up to an entertaining first half hour or so before the plot begins in earnest and the fun factor starts to droop. - David Edwards


Smith's natural charisma has been dulled by special effects bonanzas and/or a desire to play against type. In Focus, he feels like himself again, and he reminds you why he became one of Hollywood's biggest stars in the first place. - Adam Graham


Mostly, it is fun to watch Will Smith and Margot Robbie, and to marvel at whatever divine or evolutionary miracle concentrated so much charisma in the two of them. - A.O. Scott


Smith and Robbie are terrific together. At various points along the way, he's playing her, and then she's playing him, and then we're almost positive they've let their collective guard down and they're really in love ... Or are they? - Richard Roeper
