[projekktor id=’17782′]

Focus is a romantic crime drama written and directed by Glenn Ficarra & John Requa (Crazy, Stupid, Love, I Love You Phillip Morris). The films stars Will Smith, Margot Robbie, and Rodrigo Santoro.

Will Smith stars as Nicky, a seasoned master of misdirection who becomes romantically involved with novice con artist Jess (Margot Robbie). As he’s teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flame—now an accomplished femme fatale—shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high stakes race car circuit. In the midst of Nicky’s latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop…and the consummate con man off his game.

Smith was eager to star in Focus after learning who was directing it. “I loved ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’, so when I heard that John and Glenn were working on another screenplay, I was excited to get in anywhere that I fit in. And when I read the screenplay, I thought it was a brilliant combination of comedy, drama, psychology and intrigue. It demanded a wide spectrum of behavior. As an actor, I was inspired by the challenge of it.”

Focus is rated 14A.
