Our take on Focus

This 2015 crime comedy-romance from directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra follows Nicky, a seasoned con artist who takes a talented newcomer, Jess, under his wing and into his bed, before abruptly ending things. Years later she reappears as a poised femme fatale, tangling with his latest elaborate scheme. Trading on sleight-of-hand plotting, misdirection and glossy romantic sparring, the film keeps the audience guessing about who is playing whom. It's built for viewers who enjoy slick, twist-driven caper entertainment where charm and deception matter more than gritty realism. Stylish and playful, it's a breezy con-artist romance that treats trust itself as the ultimate mark.
