Diversion

Si la fine supercherie initiale était réservée pour la fin, ce serait une réussite. Mais les scénaristes ont choisi de révéler leurs cartes d’entrée de jeu, laissant Diversion s’éteindre à petit feu, les créateurs n’arrivant pas à surpasser le début. (25/04/2018)

Focus a une grande qualité : il est amusant et imprévisible dans ses retournements de situation. Et il est visuellement magnifique. Les costumes, les décors, tout a un charme glamour soigné. Will et Robbie sont bons, la scène de football américain est top. Seulement, la tentative de faire du final le plus grand et le plus surprenant des rebondissements dépasse les limites de la crédibilité. Moins aurait été plus. Malgré cela, je donne quatre étoiles. Parce que le film m'a agréablement surpris, ce qui est rare pour un Hollywood mainstream sans grandes ambitions. (17/03/2015)

Ensemble, Robbie et Smith assurent plutôt bien. La première partie est particulièment bonne, le meilleur passage étant probablement celui avec l’Asiatique fou. La deuxième moitié retombe dans quelque chose de standard avec une intrigue réchauffée et quelques retournements de situation qui surprennent mais n’impressionnent pas outre mesure. Un bon divertissement pour un dimanche après-midi pluvieux. (03/10/2016)

Focus started, offered something, and then bewitched me with the scene where Will Smith tricked a greedy gambling Vietnamese guy. During the scene, I literally stopped breathing, but afterward, it all went too hell because the movie became incredibly boring. Towards the end of the movie, it again scored some points with a more interesting scene and after that, it was already the end. Focus is like that. Overall, it was shit, but here and there it offers a cinematographic delicacy. Well, and whether it is worth watching, you have to judge that for yourselves. If you ask me, were it not for Will and Margot Robbie I wouldn’t even remember it a day after watching it. (01/06/2016)

Yesterday I wouldn't have believed myself to go to the cinema to see a film with the label comedy/crime/romance/drama and today I feel like going to see it again, because I haven't seen a more entertaining film since Kingsman this year. Incredibly funny, entertaining, well acted, very cleverly written and damn stylish. The whole thing is one big con that fucks with everyone in the film as well as the viewer and it works out great. The whole organization works more than successfully, Will Smith gives the ultimate performance, I don't remember him in this form, and the final twist is one of the best I've ever had the chance to see. It's an adrenaline rush that you instantly fall in love with and love the film immediately. You won't find a more beautiful and entertaining film involving thievery, pickpocketing and fraud. A gem. 100%. (08/03/2015)
