Focus is a 2015 American romantic dark comedy film written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Starring Will Smith,Margot Robbie, and Rodrigo Santoro, the film was released on February 27, 2015.[5]

Plot[edit]

Seasoned con-man Nicky Spurgeon (Will Smith) goes to a nightclub, where a very inexperienced grifter, Jess Barrett (Margot Robbie), attempts to seduce him by pretending that they've been caught by her jealous husband, in order to con Nicky. Seeing through their deception, Nicky exposes their plan and advises them never to lose focus when faced with unexpected situations before leaving. Jess finds him in another nightclub a few days later and convinces Nicky to become her mentor by detailing all information she acquired on him, including that his father, Bucky Spurgeon, was forced to shoot Nicky's grandfather after a con gone wrong.
Nick takes Jess to New Orleans, where she performs a series of minor cons as a test. After proving her worth, Jess is introduced to Nicky's crew, and soon Nicky and Jess develop a romantic relationship, upsetting Nicky, who was taught by his father to never become emotionally involved with anyone in their line of business. At a professional football championship game at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome, Nicky and Jess con a compulsive gambler, Liyuan Tse (B.D. Wong) out of all his money, after making Tse pick a players number from the game. Afterwards, Nicky gives Jess her share but reluctantly sends her away, leaving her heartbroken.
Three years later, Nicky is in Buenos Aires, working for billionaire motorsport team owner Rafael Garriga (Rodrigo Santoro). Garriga needs to beat a team headed by Australian businessman McEwen (Robert Taylor) to win the championship. Nicky will pretend to be a disgruntled technician on Garriga's team and will sell a bogus component to McEwen, slowing their car down during the race. At a pre-race party, Nicky runs into Jess, who is now Garriga's girlfriend. Nicky has a convincing fight with Garriga in public and is recruited by McEwen to provide the component.
Nicky begins pursuing Jess again, and they eventually rekindle their relationship. The head of Garriga's security entourage, Owens (Gerald McRaney), is suspicious and follows Nicky and Jess. Nicky delivers the component to McEwen for three million euros, but also sells it to the other teams for similar amounts. While he is waiting for Jess at his hotel room, he receives a text saying "You're burned leave now" meaning he is exposed, and should leave immediately.
Nicky and Jess attempt to return to the United States together. However, they are caught by Garriga's men and taken to an abandoned warehouse, where Nicky pleads for Jess's life, and is beaten by Garriga. Jess reveals she was trying to seduce Garriga in order to steal his valuable watch, and Owens then shoots Nicky in the chest, causing a horrified Garriga to leave. Owens then reveals himself to be Nicky's father, Bucky, and assures Jess that he avoided any major arteries.
Bucky drives Nicky and Jess to the hospital to treat Nicky's punctured lung and departs with Nicky's money, as a reminder of the consequences of losing focus. After he leaves, Jess reveals that she snatched Garriga's watch before he left the warehouse, and Nicky and Jess then go into the hospital together.

Cast[edit]

Production[edit]

Apollo Robbins served as a consultant, conceiving and choreographing original sleight-of-hand maneuvers. Directors Ficarra and Requa stated, "Apollo is the foremost expert in his field and is an inspiration to us." The directing duo and production designer Beth Mickle made a scouting trip to Buenos Aires in June and a second trip with producers Denise Di Novi and Mark Scoon, in which they finally settled to shoot in the neighborhoods of San Telmo, Puerto Madero, Barracas, Retiro, Recoleta and Palermo, as well as Ezeiza Airport and a few hotels.[6] Neil Smith spoke at the Digital Cinema Society forum dropping several hints as to the identity of a film being edited in Final Cut Pro X in a December 2013 presentation. This would make Focus the largest production yet completed in Apple's editing program.

Filming[edit]

Principal photography began on September 14, 2013 in New Orleans, and moved over to Buenos Aires on November 19, 2013 for three weeks.[7] The last day of shooting in Argentina was on December 10.[8] Filming wrapped in New York City on December 17, 2013.[9]

Release[edit]

The film was released on February 27, 2015.[5] On January 29, 2015, WB and IMAX Corporation announced that they would digitally re-master the film into the immersive IMAX DMR format, also for release on the same date.[10]

Box office[edit]

As of April 4, 2015, Focus has grossed $52.4 million in North America and $82.4 million in other territories for a total gross of $134.8 million, against a budget of $50.1 million.[4]
The film grossed $6.4 million in its opening day, $7.6 million on its second day and $4.6 million on its third day, totaling $18.7 million in its opening weekend, while playing in 3,323 theaters, with a $5,623 per-theatre average and finishing first place at the box office.[11]
The film was also released in the theatres of 39 markets of other territories in same weekend of its North America release, and grossed an estimated $12.2 million. Its biggest territories were UK ($13 million), Russia ($3.1 million) and Netherlands ($1765,832).[12][13]

Critical response[edit]

Focus has received mixed reviews from critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 55% approval rating, based on 171 reviews, with a rating average of 5.8/10. The site's consensus reads, "Focus may have a few too many twists and turns, but it nearly skates by on its glamorous setting and the charm of its stars."[14] OnMetacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score of 56 out of 100, based on 42 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[15]
Film review blog Movie Metropolis praised Smith and Robbie's performances but criticised the lack of depth given to the rest of the story, which the reviewer felt was struggling with what genre it was trying to be.[16]
On a similar note, critic David Palmer of The Reel Deal gave the film 5/10, saying, that "two likable leads and some colorful locations do not make a great movie, but they certainly help to elevate an otherwise average one."[17]
The Free Press Journal called the film "smart, slick, but shallow".[18]

Focus will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on June 2, 2015.[19]
