Lift Netflix Movie Review
Ойын-сауық
🌐 This is my Lift Netflix Movie Review. Brace yourselves for an airborne heist on Netflix, from F. Gary Gray! Join me as we explore this cliche yet action-packed ride, led by the ever-energetic Kevin Hart.
💰 Starring as Cyrus Whitaker, Hart leads an international heist crew on a daring mission to snatch 500 million in gold from a passenger plane cruising at 40,000 feet. The stakes are high, the cliches are plenty, and the action sequences promise to elevate your adrenaline (sort of).
🚀 As the ensemble cast, including Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sam Worthington, Vincent D'Onofrio, and Billy Magnussen, adds depth to the heist narrative, the movie maneuvers through predictable plot twists with occasional bursts of thrilling action.
🎬 Directed by F. Gary Gray, known for his experience in action cinema, "Lift" delivers on some impressive sequences that keep the audience engaged, even if the overall plot adheres closely to heist movie conventions.
🤔 Share your thoughts in the comments below! Were you lifted by Kevin Hart's heist escapades? Which action sequences left you on the edge of your seat? Let's discuss the highs, the lows, and the entertaining aspects of "Lift" in this heist adventure.

You will if you actually watch some of his movies including this one if you want but to be fair it’s plot is quite similar to other movies which is its main flaw
I didn't even finish it
F. Gary Gray also directed The negotiator with samuel l jackson. Highly recommend, it's a hidden gem
I know people want to say that people are hating on Kevin Hart, but this has nothing to do with that. I am a very unbiased person. I can look at a situation for what it is and honestly I just do not understand the chances given to Kevin Hart with Netflix in his past few projects all of them have rated five or below out of 10. It’s your money Netflix? I’m just saying I don’t get it. Somethings off when it comes to trying to bring him in as a pull but OK 🙄 and this movie Lift is a perfect example of that it …..just does not work with him in it!
watched only because Ursula was there. i csnt take kevin hart seriously
This movie must have been written and largely filmed before 2021. It did not age well already. Literally two of the major plot elements in the movie are basically non-existent in the world today. I'm surprised they didn't try to refactor these elements out or down. As action goes it's meh. Clearly the Fast and Furious elements are there with the down right silly and unbelievable plane stunts. The romantic element feels like it was crow barred. The part where I laughed the most was they trashed a plane that was worth more than the actual heist. And I'm not talking about the "stealth" plane. However they trash both planes in the end. And somehow they just walk away from the final cop scene? The cops also show up in what must be cop cars that can exceed the speed of sound they got there so fast. Kevin just comes across as smug all the time. He needs to work on his I'm cool as a cucumber oceans 11 look. The editing room did a rather poor job of stitching things together. All the elements in almost every scene felt like they were film scraps and pasted together. ( Which I full understand is actually what editing is. ) Was it the worst thing I've seen lately? No. Is it a re-watch? No. A recommend? Mostly No.
Do you think Netflix intensionally made these "bad" ? Per say something which can be watched while washing dish and most people would probably drop before the ending Not only their plots, even their reviews are pretty much the same

Does Lift exist in the same universe as Red Notice?
Austin, did you watch The Curse? I loved it
Can u please make a review about justice league crisis on infinite earths?
I really enjoyed Red Notice, pass on this though.

Can we all just agree that this was a bad movie? Great cast playing minor roles, acted well, just the plot was garbage. You knew they would steal the gold for themselves, it was tacked on at the end like they almost forgot to write it in. There was no reason to kill the woman from Leviathan, you're just making an enemy worse than you for no gain and without it happening he walks. Was the gold worth the two jets they ruined? What about the people they stranded in the snowy mountain tundra? How were they going to hijack the plane without guns to get the gold? Wouldn't this dangerous criminal know it was you who robbed him even if your plan went perfectly? Why switch the planes at all if they could just switch the palettes inside the plane and have most of them never leave their seats? Have they ever seen a stealth plane before? How far do their in-ear comms work? Would one broken wrist keep you from pulling back a throttle on a diving plane? Use your other hand. Four balloons aren't going to raise ten tons of metal. Why didn't they wear masks in the first heist and avoid all of this? It was just a badly written movie.
The thumbnail tho 🤣🤣

While I agree with most of your review, I am always happy to see Kevin Hart take on other roles than the usual comedic one.. However, it was only mildly entertaining. Seems heist movies are a safe genre for production companies. Easy script, easy money.

A.i written trash, if this entertained you you'd obviously enjoy a paint drying, the double cross in the end means the whole movie never needed to happen cause they already swapped the gold they only need the safe cracker and Asian chick to pull off whole heist and it was pointless to switch airports or add second plane cause they already stole the gold, Kevin Hart is truly garbage as a comedian or actor and this movie is just another example of his failed career, so glad they lost tons of money for this truly is a movie to make you stupider

Kevin was trying to play as Will Smith's character in the movie "Focus." But did a bad job... he tried to have that facial expression will had😂😂😂
2/10 movie..1 point for that creative jet plane, another for talented actors with useless story
15 minutes is all I could take. When they started on the NFT stuff I bailed. That's RARE for me. But this had all the trappings of a Hollywood drivel driven mess. It was so ridiculous and felt so forced I couldn't take it.
I like Kevin Hart, restarted movie twice. 3rd time may finish it. 😫 It was just okay for me. What I did see not horrible just ok
This was gooood !?
This was great fun 9/10
This was just a paycheck 😂. So many great actors with nothing to do. Like you said, a background watch.
This story's character had a "moral dilemma", a little one! 😉 Versus, uh, one you had on your "style" choice. That is saying, "something" about a *fluffy story*...the plotline I mean, not your hairstyle "fixing dilemma" 😀

@user-ld6yo1yb5t So, Austin Burke is perfectly summing up on the 'lightness' of the narrative* - *Army of the Dead, had "some style to it!* So, here a,"heist-centric film genre, *but* - with a "you're not going to get it..." Yet, *dialogue that feels, just a little, on the meaningless side...* It's there! * *Fluffy story I guess🤨Loved his comments!*
I have already watched LIFT, and I would have to agree with the comments made in this video. It was an entertaining movie, but nothing special. A few changes to the movie would have made it alot better, but as it sits, it is just average.
Don't forget that a movie is about the story line, which everyone enjoyed. Don't focus on the small imperfections, makes you see like a hater

CAPTAIN MILLER REVIEW!
i loved this film. disconnected and has a great time
Script was cartoon-level naive. Sad to see Jean Reno in a movie like this, I guess the man's gotta eat... And Kevn Hart went so "I am not playing the comedian on this one" that he was way too serious for a light movie like this.
Movie was so bad and I knew it be bad and I still watched it and when it ended I was like yep that’s a Netflix movie for you. This is from the same director that did The Italian Job remake and that’s a much better film.

Another A.I generated movie? This movie had no soul.
Am I the only one that noticed that the fact that they actually had swapped the gold negates the entire half of the movie or the need for the rest of the crew other than the blonde guy in Asian girl or that they didn't need the plane after all because all they really needed to do is switch the gold and then let them land the plane at the original airport, this was written by AI because humankind could not make that big of a mistake, right seriously guys they under cut there entire movie by the blonde guy not actually needing anyone's help, he could have jumped with parachute following the plane and the movie ended there, bad guy gets fake gold, hackers steal his money win win woulda been better then adding 50 more steps to a horrible heist movie, Kevin Hart your careers dead after signing with Netflix.
Yep I agree. It wasn’t the worst movie but fairly forgettable. I watched it with my wife and enjoyed it for what it was. Some of it was kind of ridiculous though.
Later in the year theres another Neflix plane thriller coming out called "Carry On" from director Jaume Collet-Serra I have a feeling that'll be MUCH better

God I thought this movie was terrible. Love Kevin Hart. But from the acting to the story line to the character building. It was all bad and unbelievable. A star studded cast and the movie some how made them all forgettable.
Hi tech drama built by fancy gadgets. Heist has no strategy.
Movie was trash but i still enjoyed it,
This was embarrassingly terrible. The script had ZERO good lines. The low point for me had to be when the team has just pulled off a literally impossible take down of the most evil bad guy on the planet (apparently) and Kevin Hart's line to the Villain as he's marched off..."Enjoy Prison" Ooh! That's Cold!

Kevin hart should just make movies like the upside Or series similar to true story Series roles with no real comedic aspect to it and then maybe people will take him seriously Because I don’t have him up there as the best comedic actor His just meh or rather his just there doing his thing and big up to that But like Netflix just wasted money on this film because did we need it no!! rather invest in foreign actors Korean German and so forth because then the films are way better but don’t get recognised Example society of the snow etc….

Watched this last night. It was HORRIBLE. It's like so many other movies but with worse acting and more unrealistic story. Think I'm done watching Kevin Hart movies, especially action movies, usually a let down.
Ticks the usual box. Apart from that it’s a big steaming 💩

Like all films by and with Kevin Hart: Horrible! (Although the basic idea isn't bad, but what motivated actors like Jean Reno to act here may just have been about the money). The "actors" are simply wooden, the "tricks" are bad and the ending is like a dime novel. It's a shame about your life.
Thus movie was wack fell asleep during the movie and I drank a monster b4 watching it
Just not buying Kevin Heart playing that kind of character, shit was awful
Lift was corny asf. You just know it was gonna be in the first 5 minutes in the movie.

Movie was garbage what a piece of sh*t
What a crap movie - almost unwatchable. Even as white noise in the background I couldn’t keep it on. Hart as a lowkey subdued actor just does not work at least in this context. He was fine in the other neflux movie about the dad and daughter. But this action star is no bueno. He is great but this movie was straight shite.
This movie felt like it was written by a 10 year old. Dumb script, dumb plot, very lame movie. Not funny enough, not cool enough, characters are lame. The relationship with Kevin and his girlfriend brought nothing to the movie
Kevin Hart is just not funny anymore.

I love F. Gary Grey, but this just felt real cheap and lazily put together. Typical plug and play characters thrust into a formulaic unoriginal story. I fell asleep the first 25 min.
Maybe the worst intro to a heist movie I've ever seen. Not smart or clever in any way.
Confusing plot, forgettable characters all green screen backgrounds. 👎

Everybody saying that the movie is terrible doesn’t know what a terrible movie is. It’s just mediocre and with Kat Williams recent 15 mins of fame people are gonna go extra hard on Kevin being the lead role.
