Dwight Brown National Newspaper Publishers Association Focus is a bit too slick, but engaging nonetheless. Mar 7, 2017 Full Review 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 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 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 Richard Crouse Richard Crouse Could use a bit more focus in the storytelling-a late movie plot twist doesn't ring true given the lead up to the big reveal-but it zips along at such a pace and is enough fun that you may not notice. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 4, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The entire picture is suffused with an ample dose of humor, keeping the constant double-crosses airily artful. Rated: 7/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Jose J No entiendo porque tanto "beef" pero a mí si me gusto, esta entretenida. 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 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 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 out of 5 stars 11/16/23 Full Review Steve D Predictable and like a million others. 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 out of 5 stars 10/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
