Never Lose Focus


Focus
A seasoned con artist becomes romantically involved with novice at the game. 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 his latest, very dangerous scheme, she throws his plans for a loop ... and flips him completely off his game.
