Will Smith returns in top form in “Focus”, a shell game of a film that will keep you second guessing yourself every time you think you know how it’s going to end.
Aside from being an on-screen reunion for father and son Will and Jaden Smith, After Earth is also a true return to form for director M. Night Shyamalan, whose extraordinary talents for blending sophisticated, cerebral, character-driven storytelling with chilling suspense are on full display.
After all these years, there’s still a lot to like about the “Men in Black” formula, but that formula is not what makes “Men in Black 3” really click. Instead, it’s what’s new to the series that makes the whole thing work: this movie, when all is said and done, belongs to Josh Brolin.
