Thanks largely to a record run in China, Tranformers: Age of Extinction earned the most worldwide out of any other film released in 2014. I say this once more, box office success does not equal quality filmmaking, clearly. Last year didn’t offer quite as many surprises worldwide as it did domestically. Only one original work […]

It's fair to say that Focus is the best Will Smith film in what seems like several decades. It's equally fair to say that's not exactly saying very much.

She's the lynchpin of the film, perfectly attenuated to the circuitous plot. She's the most distracting thing in a story about distractions, and helps make the work something more than just another silly confidence-man ploy.
