FOCUS (Released to Theaters USA 2001)

 

Ben Meyers’ Rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Focus—highly intriguing—gives away no clues to the events that take place. William H. Macy and Laura Dern act well together. David Paymer is a great addition to the story. The acting, presentation and portrayal are good. This is a rough story, but watchable.

? Yes? No? Maybe?

Yes. This is a very good film to understand what people have to deal with when becoming the 'out' group. Great writing and tells a good story.
