As he's teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off.

In the midst of Nicky's latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop... and the consummate con man off his game.

Not too shabby of a con-man movie. Good little twist at the end.

Can't say I was too familiar with Margot Robbie, but she was good and hot.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

I liked it.

 

[Iceman]

Nice. This is another one I'll go check out. I can honestly say I have yet to be disappointed by any will smith movies that he is the star or costar. Imo

I liked it. Lots of humor and twists. The twists were kinda hit or miss, as far as writing goes but it was well acted and Margot Robbie is so freaking beautiful I will literally watch anything shes in right now.

(She is the girl from Wolf of Wall street)

Not a GREAT movie but a good one worth seeing. Would be a fun date movie.

Super spoiler alert below!

I am either annoyed or confused so I wanted to get your opinion. So they do the big Dad twist at the end but if that was the case, what is the point of the whole scene when Owens came to Nicky's hotel room and looked around. Meanwhile Jess was there in Nicky's bead and jumped over a balcony half dressed to avoid Owens? Did they just put that scene in there for tension knowing it made no sense after the reveal, or was that whole thing staged between Owens and Nicky for Jess? Did Owens only show up because they knew Jess was there? If so why?

Thoughts?

Watch Wolf on Wall Street. If you liked her in Focus, you will really like her in Wolf on Wall Street.

Spoiler.

just like the game bets, she was the one in the dark. Once Smith saw her the night in the red dress they changed the plan to get the full code because they had a way in with the racer. Not sure if this was the original plan, but remember the scene of him drinking after talking to her? Owens walks up and asks him what's going on, and he says the plan changed.

This allowed him to con her with the necklace and the key logger so he was able to get the full code.

Owens coming to the room was just playing the part. He had roughed her up the night before.

Agreed. Twists were pretty decent. They're often overdone in con films. Had me entertained.
