Focus may not achieve the narrative brilliance of the Oceans movies, but it more than gets by thanks to riveting performances from its incredibly talented cast. It may be predictable, it may be scatter-brained at times, but I've yet to see a movie starring Will Smith that wasn't wonderful.
Don't get me wrong, Smith is far from the only saving grace of this movie. It's not the best thing to come out of Warner Bros. but it's far from the worst. I wouldn't give any movie 4 stars just for casting one good actor. The whole movie well-cast, well-acted, witty, fun, and a perfect mixture of serious and light-hearted.
