Focus Película

[Algernon Alcala]

Focusis a 2015 American crime comedy-drama film written and directed by Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie. The plot follows a career con artist who takes an aspiring femme fatale under his wing.

Seasoned con-man Nicky Spurgeon meets inexperienced grifter Jess Barrett, who tries to seduce and con him, with a fake jealous husband. When they fail, Nicky advises them never to lose focus when faced with unexpected situations. He follows Jess, convincing her to have drinks. Nicky tells her how his father Bucky shot his grandfather in a stand-off, explaining the "Toledo Panic Button" tactic, in which you shoot your partner to show your loyalty.

Jess follows Nicky to New Orleans, successfully persuading him to take her under his wing, where she also meets Nicky's crew, including Farhad and Horst. Picking a few pockets as a test, Nicky and Jess develop a romantic relationship, upsetting Nicky, whose father taught him to never become emotionally involved with colleagues. At the Super Bowl, Nicky gets into a round of increasingly extravagant bets with gambler Liyuan Tse, eventually losing all of the money the crew has earned.

To win it back, Nicky asks Tse to pick any player on or off the field and has Jess guess the number picked. Distraught, Jess scans the field, sees Farhad wearing jersey number 55, and realizes it is another con. They take Tse for millions. Nicky later explains how Tse had been programmed to pick 55 from his arrival, with subtle, subliminal prompts throughout his day. This victory leaves Tse impressed, who even graciously gives all the money back to Nicky.

Three years later, Nicky goes to Buenos Aires to work for billionaire motorsport team owner Rafael Garriga. As Garriga wants to beat Australian businessman McEwen's team in the championship, Nicky will pretend to be Garriga's team's disgruntled technician who's willing to sell his custom fuel using algorithm EXR. Instead, he will sell McEwen a bogus version which will actually slow their car down. At a pre-race party, Nicky runs into Jess, who is now with Garriga. After heavy drinking upon seeing Jess, Nicky has a convincing public fight with Garriga and after being thrown out, is recruited by McEwen to provide the component.

Nicky begins pursuing Jess again, and they eventually rekindle their relationship. The head of Garriga's security entourage Owens is suspicious and narrowly misses catching them together. Nicky not only delivers the real component to McEwen for three million euros but also sells it to the other teams for similar amounts.

Nicky then promises to come clean to spare Jess's life, but Owens shoots him in the chest, causing a horrified Garriga to leave. Owens then reveals himself to be Bucky, and assures Jess that he avoided any major arteries by employing the "Toledo Panic Button". He then tapes up Nicky's wounds and draws excess blood from his lung with a syringe so he can breathe. They flee the garage in Garriga's vehicle.

Bucky drives Nicky and Jess to the hospital to treat Nicky's punctured lung. Before he drops them off, he reveals why he's left him on the streets: during a poker deal in Boston, he had a gun pulled on him, and all he could think about then was Nicky. He then walked away and never looked back.

After emphasizing that love will get one killed in the game, Bucky departs with all the money as a reminder of the consequences of losing focus. After he leaves, Nicky notices that Jess snatched Garriga's $200,000 watch, and a smiling Nicky and Jess walk towards the hospital entrance together.

Apollo Robbins served as a consultant, conceiving and choreographing original sleight-of-hand maneuvers. Directors Ficarra and Requa stated, "Apollo is the foremost expert in his field and is an inspiration to us."[citation needed]

The directing duo and production designer Beth Mickle made a scouting trip to Buenos Aires in June and a second trip with producers Denise Di Novi and Mark Scoon, in which they finally settled to shoot in the neighborhoods of San Telmo, Puerto Madero, Barracas, Retiro, Recoleta and Palermo, as well as Ezeiza Airport and a few hotels.[6]

Neil Smith spoke at the Digital Cinema Society forum dropping several hints as to the identity of a film being edited in Final Cut Pro X in a December 2013 presentation. This would make Focus the largest production yet completed in Apple's editing program.[citation needed]

Principal photography began on September 14, 2013, in New Orleans,[citation needed] and moved over to Buenos Aires on November 19, 2013, for three weeks. The last day of shooting in Argentina was on December 10.[7] Filming wrapped in New York City on December 17, 2013.[8]

The film was released in 2015 in the US and Germany.[9] On January 29, 2015, Warner Bros. and IMAX Corporation announced that they would digitally re-master the film into the immersive IMAX DMR format, also for release on the same date.[10]

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has a rating of 56%, based on 228 reviews, with an average rating of 5.80/10. The site's consensus reads, "Focus may have a few too many twists and turns, but it nearly skates by on its glamorous setting and the charm of its stars."[16] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 56 out of 100, based on 42 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[17] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a grade of "B" on an A+ to F scale.[18]

Will Smith llega con todo a la pantalla grande con el film de accin y comedia Focus, en el que dos estafadores se encuentran involucrados en el mismo embrollo y, aunque el pasado rpidamente los captura, tendrn que tener los ojos abiertos para evitar que uno embauque al otro.

Seguro que hay ms cosas que quieres saber sobre la pelcula de esta pareja de actores a los que veremos juntos en Suicide Squad... entonces, por qu no revisamos algunos datos curiosos de Focus?

Al momento de su audicin, Margot Robbie se encontraba vacacionando con su hermano en Croacia, y tuvo que salir disparada para Nueva York, perdiendo su maleta en el proceso, pero llegando a tiempo a la audicin. Smith, sin embargo, lleg tarde, y una enfadada Robbie le reproch su tardanza. En lugar de perjudicarla, los directores adoraron su actitud y la contrataron.

Aunque muchos de nosotros probablemente sabemos la verdadera razn por la que Kristen Stewart se retir del film luego de su escndalo, lo ms curioso es que la actriz cit la diferencia de edad con Smith como un problema. Qu hizo el estudio frente a esto? Pues, contratar a alguien mucho ms joven, ya que Margot Robbie es menor que Stewart.

Muchos grandes actores de carcter, ya sea estadounidenses como rabes, expresaron su ira con el guin del film, principalmente porque ste presenta al personaje de Farhad ( Adrian Martinez) como un tpico estereotipo persa, hacindolo grosero y con problemas de sobrepeso. El guin fue cambiado para ser ms respetuoso.

No siempre Argentina es escogida como espacio de representacin de un film, pero Focus es una de las primeras pelculas de Hollywood que es filmada en ms de un barrio dentro de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, centrndose en barrios histricos y modernos, como Recoleta, Puerto Madero, y San Telmo. El Aeropuerto de Ezeiza tambin aparece en una escena.

Cuntos de ustedes utilizan Final Cut Pro para editar sus proyectos? Este es el primer film de Hollywood en utilizar este programa para su edicin, una verdadera maravilla considerando su escala y presupuesto. Ser aquel que marque tendencias futuras?

Focus es una entretenida pelcula de suspenso con toques de romance y comedia. Y el plus para los de este lado del continente es sumar a Buenos Aires como nunca se la vi en una produccin hollywodense.

Sobre el tratamiento de Buenos Aires har una nota aparte, pero obviamente es protagonista de la historia y ocupa poco ms de la mitad de la pelcula me dio la sensacin. Fue lindo ver a la ciudad de manera tan profesional y con tanto respeto, no siendo una ciudad de alguna dictadura sudamericana como es fcil mostrar a Hollywood.

Focus gan su segundo fin de semana en las boleteras y super los 200.000 espectadores acumulados. Tuvo adems el mejor promedio de toda la cartelera, pero es un nmero bajo lo que demuestra que la cartelera no ...
