Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Focus What a shame. The first half of this flick is actually entertaining and fun. The mid-movie climax should have been the final climax. Or they should have just built the film around taking down the big mid-flick mark. Whatever, the only thing that matters is that the film is entertaining, which it is. But like I said before, the second half of the film does disappoint and fall flat, just to set up some stupid twist that nobody cares about. 6/10

I would of rated the film a 9 if it just continued in the first half as a good, flashy, stylish and intelligent film but the second half then turned the film into another horrible Mr And Mrs Smith all because of Margot Robbie and Will Smith's romance. I was cautious about rating this film as high as I did at first, but then I decided that I would because the first half was so good, but the second half was a real stinker and deserved a 5. The film had so much potential at the start but then just slipped off the rails, I guess, and I never actually thought that I could of felt this way for a movie before. The cinematography could of also been a lot better, but because the editing is so good, the humour is funny and the fact that the first half was genius I think I will say that I enjoyed this. Watch the first half of the film, then imagine up a second half, no need for a long review.

I really would like to give you my review about the part BD Wong played in the movie Focus, and I hope you will place it on IMDb.com for everybody to read.As a partly Surinam/partly Dutch 50 year old woman and absolute filmfan, living in the Netherlands, I have seen quite a lot of movies, mainstream or not, documentary, art-house movies, it doesn't matter, I find almost everything interesting. Two years ago, 2015, I've seen about 300 movies, if not more . . .In the movie "Focus" all elements were superb : the script, the actors, the director, the cameracrew and the music. It was one big, beautiful symphony, like perfectly braided hair.AND in particular, I have never – and I mean NEVER EVER – seen a greater star shine in his role than BD Wong did in the movie "Focus"!!! He plays a dandy, deadserious yet humorous Asian gambler, a business man with too much money to spend , too much free time apparently to spend it, and nobody to stop him from acting like a child when he doesn't get what he wants and setting him straight when crossing the line.I say BD Wong outplayed everybody in this movie, even Will Smith and Margot Robbie, who acted great also and shared some sort of rare chemistry, seldom seen, like between Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper. But BD Wong outshines them all. I mean, he got his 15 minutes to play and by God, did he play! He deserves an Oscar for this role because you don't see BD Wong, but you see only his character, Liyuan, and I think not even the script writers Glenn Ficarra and John Requa could have dreamt of a better performer than actor BD Wong for this small yet utterly well played part. (together with a defining good choice of music and camera shooting angles). In Holland (and France), when somebody excels so greatly, we say "Chapeau!". So here's to my new movie hero, whose beautiful voice I also LOVED in "Mulan", mister BD Wong : Chapeau!

I never write on the internet, and yet, here I am. The movie is simply horrible, tacky and terrible acting. Don't even bother. According to the guidelines, my review does not contain enough lines, as the minimum length for reviews is ten lines of text. The problem is, there's nothing more to say. Acting is crap, story line is crap, casting is crap, everything is so far fetch... typical American movie where everything can happen. This is simply not realistic and not interesting at all. I'm so happy I didn't pay to see that movie now available on Netflix. The movie was so boring that I even took the time to look at tomorrow's weather on the weather network. Seriously, don't watch. It is simply not worth it. Here's my ten lines...
