Never knew Will Smith was this good.
28 February 2015 | by See all my reviews

I gave this movie a 10 for the simple reason that this was a slow paced movie and still managed to excite and make you not lose interest. How many movies in history are capable of that? The answer is not many. Will Smith transforms into an extremely believable con man making it look easy. Robbie was sexy and stunning and and her acting continues to shine bright. The entire tone of this movie was so balanced that it really does not take effect until the movie is over and you are able to stabilize your thoughts and come to the conclusion that you just watched a darn good movie. I thought this would be a copy of like Oceans 11 but I as wrong on some many levels. I am happy to say that Focus is very much it's own movie. Forget about After Earth because really that was a movie made to target a younger audience. This movie is the first showing of what the grown up version of Will Smith looks like. He's daring and cunning all with the same charisma he has always had. There is no need to ask anymore if Will Smith can act. He did a movie that was not in his comfort level and he nailed it proving that Will Smith is not this ghost of a man that does not exist, but he is very real and he continues to grow as an actor. I am convinced that any movie starring Will Smith is worth watching. I hate Wild Wild West but somehow I watch it every time it comes on TV because Will Smith will reel you in not matter how much you try to get away.
