Pablo P. @DirectedbyPablo Feb 9 The film tries a little too hard to be clever but ends up being too “smart” for its own good. They do an amazing job at confusing the audience and not in an entertaining way. This movie would’ve stayed under the radar as some low budget tacky film if it weren’t for Will Smith and Margot Robbie and the weight their names carry. Not very enjoyable! See more Matt L @Mattliptak Feb 6 Focus starts off with confidence and style, anchored by solid performances from Will Smith and Margot Robbie, who share easy chemistry and enough charisma to carry the film’s slick con-artist premise. The setup promises clever twists, layered deception, and a payoff worthy of its slow burn. Unfortunately, that promise never quite materializes. The story rushes toward an abrupt ending, delivering a thin, underwhelming twist that feels more obligatory than earned. Entertaining in moments and well-acted throughout, but ultimately forgettable, Focus leaves you feeling like it stopped just as it was getting interesting.

See more Nereo O @NereoOrtegaDaza Jan 14 Es una película glamourosa, da gusto verla durante casi toda su duración. Tiene diálogos entretenidos, valiosos, giros de trama interesantes, una química impresionante entre los protagonistas...pero solamente por ese final tan absurdo, tan infantil, tan sacado de los cabellos, NO VALE LA PENA VERLA. See more Marco L @decatur555 Nov 24 (CASTELLANO) Focus es ese tipo de película que te pones para desconectar y, sin hacer magia, te mantiene enganchado lo justo. No es el gran thriller de estafadores que promete ser, pero tiene suficiente ritmo y descaro como para que el tiempo pase sin mirar el reloj. Y en un género donde es fácil aburrir a mitad de camino, eso ya es una pequeña victoria. Lo que más sostiene la película es la pareja protagonista. Will Smith tiene ese encanto automático que arrastra incluso cuando el guion patina, y Margot Robbie ilumina cada escena con una mezcla de carisma y naturalidad que hace que todo parezca más sólido de lo que realmente es. Su química funciona, aunque la historia no siempre esté a la altura de ellos dos. La trama juega a sorprender más de lo que puede soportar. Hay giros que te los ves venir desde el otro lado de la habitación, y otros que rozan lo imposible, pero como el tono nunca se toma demasiado en serio, acaba funcionando como una especie de espectáculo elegante y ligero. Es cine de estafas "de superficie": bonito de ver, rápido, con diálogos ágiles… pero sin ese ingenio que te deja repasando el truco después. Al final queda justo en medio: entretenida, con momentos brillantes, pero sin ese golpe final que haga memorable lo que has visto. Es una mezcla curiosa entre comedia, romance y timo clásico, y aunque no encaja del todo, sí consigue lo básico: que pases un buen rato sin pedirle más de la cuenta. (ENGLISH) Focus is one of those films you put on when you want something light, fast and uncomplicated. It never becomes the sharp, clever con-artist thriller it tries to imitate, but it moves with enough style to keep you watching without checking your phone. In a genre that easily collapses halfway through, that’s already something. The real draw is the duo at the center. Will Smith leans on his natural charm, and even when the script gets wobbly, he holds the scene together. Margot Robbie is the real surprise here: bright, funny and effortlessly magnetic. Their chemistry doesn’t fix the film, but it makes the ride smoother and much more enjoyable. The plot wants to be twisty, sometimes too much. You can see some turns coming from a mile away, and others stretch credibility to the limit. Still, the movie isn’t pretending to be airtight; it plays more like glossy entertainment with quick dialogue and visual polish. It’s "surface-level" con-artist cinema: stylish, fun to watch, but never as smart as it thinks it is. In the end, it sits right in the middle. Entertaining, lively, occasionally clever, but far from unforgettable. It’s the kind of movie that works once and doesn’t need a second viewing — and there’s nothing wrong with that when it delivers what it promises. See more Marcus T @MarcusT12 Oct 6 This movie did not hold up as well upon a second viewing. Smith and Robbie didn't have convincing screen chemistry to make the romantic element stick. Robbie is a good actress, but they did not give her a character with any depth. The scams and cons were imaginative (often far fetched) as a diversion, but somehow the whole plot did not hold together that well. In the end the parts did not add up to a satisfying whole.
