About
You’ll likely enjoy Focus if you want glossy, easy con-artist entertainment with lots of twists and strong lead chemistry; Not for you if you dislike contrived romance twists or need airtight logic—similar to Duplicity and Confidence.
Pros: stylish, fun leads; clever cons; fast entertainment | Cons: plot credibility; genre mashup; uneven romance drama
