Though full of good intentions, Focus somehow feels dated, and pounds away its points with a heavy hand.

It serves as a forceful reminder of how small a difference there can be between unity and bigotry. Nov 6, 2002 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The topic certainly suits the times, but the director's approach is as alienating as it is old-fashioned. Nov 9, 2001 | Rating: 2.5/5

Escrita em 1945, a história concebida por Arthur Miller continua tragicamente atual. Felizmente, o diretor estreante Neal Slavin consegue capturar toda a complexidade e inteligência do livro em um filme engrandecido por ótimas atuações. Oct 9, 2003 | Rating: 5/5

The most striking thing about the film is the use of color. First-time director Neal Slavin has the kind of eye for color one would expect from an award-winning photographer. Feb 28, 2002 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

This movie was so true to the book that I felt like I had seen it before. The book was a little more detailed, so I have to say I liked that better. However the movie was very well acted and captured the right feel and emotion.

I think that they need to show this movie in every Sociology class. It's a perfect example of how, for example, Hitler's Germany was even possible. It shows how easily people can be manipulated and influenced by hateful thinking in society. It was an apalling thing to watch unfold, and intensify, but it was at the same time an amazing thing to watch. Scary, but amazing. ..On a side note, William H. Macy was fantastic, as usual.
