Nicky (Will Smith), a veteran con artist, takes a novice named Jess (Margot Robbie) under his wing. While Nicky teaches Jess the tricks of the trade, the pair become romantically involved; but, when Jess gets uncomfortably close, Nicky ends their relationship.

Critics Consensus

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.

Focus (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Focus is a bit too slick, but engaging nonetheless. Mar 7, 2017 Full Review Focus (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Jason Bailey Flavorwire It reminds us why he became a star in the first place, and provides a glimpse of where he might go from here. May 28, 2016 Full Review Focus (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic If it's so easy to guess what women want, why is this movie so utterly devoid of any of it? Dec 31, 2015 Full Review Focus (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Really good caper films tend to deliver one really good payoff. "Focus" feels like it has about three of those and all are flat-out awesome with just a hint of heavy-handedness. Rated: 4/5 Oct 13, 2024 Full Review Focus (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Focus has the right formula for a solid genre-blender of action, adventure, and romance but neither Will Smith or Margot Robbie are enough to save the film. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2024 Full Review Focus (2015) | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Ultimately “Focus” is a movie stymied by its amoral vanity, its overload of mediocre twists and turns, and the lukewarm chemistry between Smith and Robbie. Rated: 2/5 Aug 20, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Jose J No entiendo porque tanto "beef" pero a mí si me gusto, esta entretenida. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/24 Full Review Alec B It seems to be an attempt to recreate one of Steven Soderbergh's "neon-cool" crime thrillers (specifically "Out of Sight" and "Ocean's Eleven") but the filmmakers miss the mark by a wide margin. It's ultimately a rather dull experience. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review Paul B Save 105 minutes of your life and avoid this movie! Seriously bad script, wooden acting and no chemistry at all between the leading actors. Dreadful predictable nonsense. Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Wahab A Terrible movie, it's crazy to think the acting, plot and writing was so bad considering the talent in this film. Wouldn't even know what genre it's in as it sucks at everything. Bad heist film Bad romance film Bad comedy Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Steve D Predictable and like a million others. Rated 2/5 Stars • Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Nathan L I thought the plot was not delved into enough. Instead, it's about the romance, and it didn't seem real. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
