Will Smith & Margot Robbie's Divisive $159M Crime Drama From 9 Years Ago Is Now Trending On Netflix & It's Still Their Best Movie Together

Focus, which paired Will Smith and Margot Robbie onscreen together for the first time, is now trending on Netflix, nine years after its initial release in 2015. While the film was a box office success, earning $159 million against a $50 million budget, it is often underlooked and overshadowed by Smith and Robbie's other movies. Particularly for Robbie, Focus was released quite early into her career but got lost within her other films, such as The Wolf of Wall Street and Suicide Squad.
In Focus, Smith plays Nicky, a veteran con artist who takes Jess, played by Robbie, under his wing. Other than Focus, 2016's Suicide Squad is actually the only other movie Smith and Robbie have starred in together. While Suicide Squad further displayed the chemistry between the two actors, Focus showed it off in a much more effective way, and is easily the best movie Smith and Robbie have made together.
