Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, Focus is a romantic dark comedy in cinemas starting today. If you’re still not sold on the film then maybe this eight clips will change that. “Never drop the con, never break, die with the lie”, words to live by if you’re in this line of 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. Still, this quirky con-man flick is actually loads of fun, due to a strong performance by Mr. Smith, and an even stronger turn by Margot Robbie.

Focus is an old-fashioned star vehicle. There are race cars, there are swindles, but those are distractions—things to remove your attention—it’s all about the wordplay. And while not every word rings true, these days it’s just nice to see a big-budget movie that actually gives space for dialogue to settle, mingle, and play. Will Smith is the star for this vehicle, and the movie sinks or swims in accordance to his chemistry with the pretty ingénue, played by Margot Robbie.

The first trailer has arrived for Focus, in which Will Smith and Margot Robbie play con artists with a romantic attachment that brings trouble for both of them. Smith plays the wily old con who brings Robbie into his world, only to shut her out again when things get too serious. Then some three years later, she walks back into his life and turns things on their head… Unfortunately for Smith, her reappearance comes right in the middle of his most ambitious, and dangerous, con to date. Not the best timing when his game needs to be at its sharpest.
