Actors: Will Smith, Margot Robbie,
Rodrigo Santoro, Gerald McRaney
Rating: 7 out of 10, This is a Will
Smith vehicle ably supported by Margot Robbie the unforgettable wife of the
Wolf of Wall Street. Smith is excellent as always but labors under the pressure
of a character who’s a really bad guy. Smith is probably the most likable actor
in cinema today but here he plays a con man who orchestrates thefts at major
social events. This type movie only works, at least for me, when the con men
are ripping off guys that deserve to be victimized – someone lower on the
loathsome scale than the thieves. There’s a few cute twists thrown in but I
couldn’t get past the feeling these guys deserve to be incarcerated. Great
chemistry between Smith and Robbie elevated it above those thoughts. I should
have loved it, what with skimpily clad women, exotic locales and of course Miss
Robbie, but I only liked it.
MVP: Robbie as the startlingly hot Jess
