This is a great movie. This is one of those rarities whose appeal cuts across all ages. Take your son/grandson daughter/granddaughter best mate/ girlfriend to it. You will love it. They will love it.
Wiil Smith stars in it, with Margot Robbie. She stumbles across him in a bar and joins his merry band of thieves and con men. Robbie is blond and blue eyed and originally from the Gold coast. She is pure sunlight and sparkle in this story. A young Grace Kelly who can act intelligently and with nuance. A bimbo she ain’t. Her American accent is flawless and she brings elegance style and joie de vivre to the part.
Will Smith is her mentor and they fall in love. Only Will Smith doesn’t realize it, or maybe he does and doesn’t want to get involved. He dumps her and they accidentally meet up three years later. Robbie is wearing a drop dead gorgeous red dress with the most incredible hairstyle.
The acting on both sides is superb and there is a genuine chemistry between the two. You can see why there a rumours of Will Smith’s marriage break up with Robbie being at the centre of it. Robbie herself is apparently quite amazing. She is only 24 and has a meteoric rise though Hollywood originally starring with Leonardo De Caprio in the Wolf of Wall Street. Totally unpretentious she lives in London in shared digs with her girlfriends. As a present to her mum she paid off her mothers $500,000 townhouse mortgage.
The cinematography is great and the pace is fast moving with a plot that twists and turns. We saw it on a Vmax screen which truly enhanced the experience.
See it.
