In an age of digital theft on a massive scale, Will Smith and his team of thieves keep it analog and small-time: watches, wallets, and jewelry. (The only upgrade: using lifted credit cards to buy goods and then selling those goods online — "the secondary market.") Oh, and he also runs the occasional con: a very different line, with much greater risks and rewards, but it's in his blood. (Thanks, Dad.) The film's chief pleasure comes from fighting the desire to believe at any given point that the hero is finally being sincere, that now we are seeing the real man and his real plan. The secondary pleasure is trying to parse out the plan's inner workings. Tertiary: Margot Robbie, the very pretty stand-in for the viewer (and therefore, the film's real mark). After that, there's some jokey banter, some fancy clothes and cars, and the refreshingly human scale of crime that relies more on psychology than gadgets. Most of the time, anyway.
