Will Smith and Margot Robbie play a high-risk con game in the first trailer for grifter romance “Focus.”
“Crazy, Stupid, Love” filmmakers John Requa and Glenn Ficarra wrote and directed the film, about veteran con man Nicky (Smith), whose world is turned upside down when he takes Robbie’s character Jess, a rising star in the game, under his wing.
