Margot Robbie's Old Hit Finds New Audience on Netflix

Back in the day, Margot Robbie wasn't the big Hollywood star she is now. She started off in a movie called Focus with Will Smith. This crime comedy didn't really impress critics, but it did make some cash at the box office. Now, almost a decade later, Focus is back in the spotlight. It's topping Netflix's top 10 movies list. Focus is about a guy named Nicky Spurgeon who teaches a young scammer, Jess Barrett, the tricks of the trade. They meet again later in Buenos Aires, and things get interesting. The movie wasn't a big hit with critics, but some found it fun. The director duo, Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, also did Crazy, Stupid, Love.

Focus wasn't a critic's favorite, scoring a 56% on Rotten Tomatoes. One reviewer said it felt like a fancy ad, not a real movie. But others enjoyed its smooth style, comparing it to old Hitchcock films. Focus hit Netflix on November 10 and quickly became a hit. As of Monday, it was at the top, followed by other popular movies like The Lost City and The Secret Life of Pets. It's always interesting to see which old movies find new life on streaming. With six new Fast and Furious movies coming soon, we might see some of those on the list too.
