Focus (2015)

Focus is the new conman movie starring Wil Smith and Margot Robbie (Leo’s wife in Wolf of Wall Street – she’s really good). The first half of this movie is fun, kind of sexy, and a reasonable diversion. Not great but fun enough. Then the second half kicks in and the movie loses (ahem) focus and becomes flabby and uninteresting. It’s such a sharp contrast that drives the movie down and down hard. It’s a shame since the cast is so appealing and charismatic.
