"Focus" blends two different movies in roughly equal measure. One is a movie about con men, scam artists and hustlers, in the tradition of "The Sting," "Ocean's Eleven," "House of Games" and "Shade."

Probably not as great as my rating would imply, but if you love a good con artist flick, you will enjoy Focus thoroughly.
