There are many many scenes and moments, and eventually the entire film, where they go way over the top and not in a good way at all. The two filmmakers I mentioned earlier definitely need a lesson in subtlety. Then again, they fit nicely in here because this movie (and the script in particular) are also about make-believe. They aren't bad actors, but they are also far from convincing unfortunately when their characters require true range and depth and they can only partially make up for these shortcomings with their great deal of charisma. It features Will Smith and Margot Robbie as the lead actors and while both are really big names, I still don't see that great talent in both of them, especially Robbie. I guess this one here is somewhere in-between, maybe closer to the "not so good". It was written by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, a duo of filmmakers who have collaborated for a really long time and this resulted in some good and some not so good works apparently. "Focus" is an American 100-minute movie from 2015, so by now it is two years old. Reviewed by Horst_In_Translation 4 / 10 Not bad, but just tries too be too much, too important for its own good
