I'm a simple man. I see Margot Robbie and I give it a 10.

It is rare that I will go to see a film just because the actress is so unbelievably hot, but Margot Robbie is one of those actresses who is breathtakingly beautiful, so yes, I am going to go see this movie just for her. Call me pig or just call me human.

Why does Christie always focus (no pun intended) on how attractive actresses are, instead of, I don't know, how they act?

@jed52 9 жыл бұрын

Because it's Los Angeles and looks play a big part in deciding if you're worth talking to.

That Frank Ocean song in the trailer is super distracting, considering it's a song about unrequited love and suppressing homosexual feelings of love. Who OK'd that song for the trailer to a heist film?

@jackpotsb3 9 жыл бұрын

I know, I love the song and it's cool to see him getting bigger, but it really doesn't make sense with the trailer. I guess most people don't care about lyrics anyway...

@blazer057 9 жыл бұрын

In the context of the film, it makes sense as will smith's character has to kind of suppress his feelings for margots character due to the fact that he is a con man and finds it hard to be authentic and trustworthy

@millieahmed5693 9 жыл бұрын

I agree with Callum, the song choice is in context to Will Smith's character as Nicky in the film "Focus" not the singer. This is a review of the film and lyrics are in context of what the character is going to have to go through. I like the trailer, I think Will and Margot look fantastic on screen together. I'm going to be one of the first people to see the movie today, I'm looking forward to it :-)

Spoiler: The movie lost me the moment you find out the football gambling scene was all a clever heist. That scene was very exciting and tense as you watched Smith's character being consumed by this darker side of his personality and it really had me invested... then they went "Nope, it was all fake! Smith was always in control and there was never any risk!" Booooo

Will Smith is back. Some scenes in this movie will have you at the edge of your seat. Frist act 10/10 second act 7/10 but the final act is very subjective if you believe what there saying it's a 9/10 if you don't it's 5/10 for me personally it's a 9.8 overall

Not taking this movie too seriously, it was entertaining, and for what it was, the first 98% was good fun. But the writers screwed up and left too much to explain, so they have the actors do that annoying data dump, exposition thing in the last 5 minutes of the movie, where 3 actors stand there and read us 5 pages of script...then it ends. Otherwise, the movie was good. Man, they just need to drop pieces of that info here and there throughout the last hour. I hate when movies end like that.

Best part about these reviews is guessing what numbers they will pick based on their comments… This was my finest performance yet. I guessed 7.0 for Christy, 6.5 for Matt, 7.5 for Alonso. lol

The biggest problem with mainstream movies like this is how they are advertised. The common trailer style is really bad now.

@squidboy0769 9 жыл бұрын

Like the new camera angles. Shorter is better...the closer you get to 5 mins for a review the better. Alonso needs to tone down his arrogance -- present your opinion and support it with facts, not more opinion.

Since there's no way for us to earmark donations to specific shows in the TYT Network, talk to Cenk about each show keeping its own money -- mostly, and then maybe paying TYT overhead or something. In the very least, each show should be keeping what little ad revenue is made from the annoying KZfaq ads.

This was pretty good popcorn entertainment. It's at 55 on the Tomatometer, but I think it's worth seeing anyway for the middle sequence. Oddly enough they didn't address money laundering at all, unlike WOWS.

I've been thinking this ever since i saw the trailer, so imma' guess: Margo Robbie's character isn't actually a novice/noob con artist, shes actually very experienced and is actually trying to screw over Will Smith, but shes pretending to be new to the game to get close to him'n'stuff.

You don't have to be like a character or he doesn't have to be good to be interesting just look for example at Tarantino's films he has despicable characters but they are cool and really interesting. Besides there are many films about regular people.

I think it is kinda funny how Alonso pull the "sexism" card to criticize Kingsman (because of ONE fucking scene)... and then don't say a single word about the way that Focus portrait Margot Robbie's character as a shallow, simple minded woman, that got totally played and discarded by Will Smith, and then, fall for him all over again because a fucking necklace and some pretty words... like, if her gold in life is to orbitated around Smith's character... I mean, really guys... really? Excuse my English.
