Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The mix of longtime star and minx on the rise is one tasty element in the success of a movie that approaches the modest goals and effortless allure of a 60-year-old Hitchcock.

rotten:
This is the kind of movie where we're not supposed to know at any time who is playing whom, but since the characterizations are glossy and paper-thin, it's difficult to get worked up about who gets fleeced.

It's a shiny, diverting ride. (And right about now, that's OK.)

[For Smith,] Focus isn't a full return to brilliance but a welcome stop, hopefully, on the way there.

That sound you hear is the high-fives in the writers' room, and that, unfortunately, is where the filmmakers' focus remains.
