Fans are urging everyone to catch this delightful heist movie starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie before it exits Netflix.
Will Smith is a cinematic icon, and Margot Robbie has built an impressive career in a little over ten years.
However, there’s a particularly entertaining film featuring both stars that has been overlooked by some audiences.
And no, it’s not Suicide Squad…
Released in 2015, this movie showcases the duo’s ‘electric chemistry,’ resulting in an engaging final product.
If you admire either of these leading actors (and who wouldn’t?), it might be worth streaming while it’s still on Netflix.
The film, titled Focus, centers on con artist Nicky, portrayed by Will Smith, who mentors Jess, played by Margot Robbie, recognizing her knack for the art of conning.
The movie includes numerous entertaining scenes, illustrating that skilled con artists don’t need massive heists. Instead, they can effortlessly charm, pickpocket, and swindle their way into your wallet anytime.
On Reddit, some viewers admit the film has its flaws, but these are easily overlooked if you enjoy a smooth heist movie with two captivating leads.
One user remarked: “I enjoyed this movie, a nice little con man movie that tried to be as fun as Ocean’s Eleven and as character driven as The Thomas Crown Affair and walks away pretty successful.
“Will Smith and Margot Robbie were fantastic together and even separately. They really bounced off on another and made the movie honestly.”
Another commented: “Smith and Robbie’s electric chemistry makes it a light and entertaining affair. It also helps that Margot Robbie is a ridiculously attractive human being who does ridiculously attractive things for two whole hours.”
A third viewer added: “I honestly really enjoyed this movie. Is it the best movie I’ve ever seen? No. But it is funny! [It’s] a very light-hearted, sexy, fun time and it also looks absolutely stunning.
“Will Smith is back to doing good Will Smith things. Plus Margot Robbie is a goddess. 7/10.”
Another fan simply stated: “This movie definitely has its faults and plot holes, but overall it is pretty enjoyable. Just don’t overthink this one and you’ll be fine.”
Although critics were not particularly impressed with the film upon its release, granting it a 56% score on Rotten Tomatoes, many fans have found it enjoyable nonetheless—and you might too.
Currently, the film is available for rent on Prime Video and Apple TV, and it’s free on Netflix until October.
