Will Smith stars as Nicky, a seasoned master of misdirection who becomes romantically involved with novice con artist Jess (Margot Robbie). As he's teaching her the tricks of the trade, she gets too close for comfort and he abruptly breaks it off. Three years later, the former flame--now an accomplished femme fatale--shows up in Buenos Aires in the middle of the high stakes racecar circuit. In the midst of Nicky's latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop... and the consummate con man off his game.

This was a pretty good movie.  I absolutely loved the first half.  It was very well paced.  The intensity of the risks taken and the gambling was so well developed.  They did a great job of developing the two lead characters and the supporting ones.  Gears shifted a little bit about halfway through the movie and that slowed the pacing down a lot but the chemistry between the two leads kept you interested and the movie ultimately did play out well.

I would definitely recommend people checking this movie out.  It's a very enjoyable ride even with the gear shift halfway through.  Will Smith has still got it.
