Lift

Its an ok Movie. A movie you can just sit down and have fun.

I personally really love these types of films and am a big Kevin Hart fan so its a no brainer to watch.

As I said in the title Don't think just watch.

Like most of the movies coming out of the steaming platforms if you expect allot you will be disappointed.

It has its flaws ( A lot of CGI ) and you can see when its being used but hey understanding the story line it had to be something that has heavy CGI.

Story line is basic for this type of movie so was not expecting being caught off-guard or going OMG I didn't see that coming.

The only Problem I have with these types of movies are the endings.

In All of them the ending is sped up and I don't understand why.

There are cases were they add 5 or 10 min parts that don't bring anything to the movie at the end of the.

Take those 5 to 10 min and complete the story in a way the ending is not rushed or in some cases ruined.

I give it a 6 nice one to watch on a weekend and just not think about it.

All that money, all that talent, all that distribution. The only thing Netflix's movie making adventure lack is heart.

Like most of their other offerings, this apparent movie lacks soul, spirit, whatever you want to call it. Its not there.

They spent a fortune on the talent and the production values, but apparently they don't care much about the actual script.

F. Gary Gray has clearly decided that he'd rather have a paycheque than make a good movie. This stinker continues along the same lines as everything else that he's made since the Italian Job.

Seriously, this movie is so bad I wanted to call up Netflix customer service and ask for my subscription fee back. Oh wait, they don't have any customer service.

Bad movie. Not even suitable for when you're stoned.

It's hard to see Kevin hart in a serious role, and here it was. But here's the thing. I actually feel he did well in this, sure his character had some usual hard manarisums but mostly he was pretty impressive. In this movie he plays Cyrus a leader of a group that like to steal paintings and we get introduced to them while in italy trying to get an nft. Cyrus old girlfriend is a Interpol agent and wants them to do the impossible. They have to steal gold from a plane so that leon the professional doesn't get it. Also on his team are. Bully Magnuson as original name Magnus his the safe expert. Usual corbelo from money heist and is a flight expert. Kim Yoon ji as hacker. Mi son and Vincent defanio as a not so good disguise expert. A good team that's made of two others also and I think this cast works and as a heist movie it was as entertaining as it needed to be and was a pretty fun watch.

If you are frequently critical of things not making sense in movies, Lift is not for you. Me personally, if I'm not enjoying a movie, I become critical of all its flaws. But if the movie is entertaining me, I can overlook a lot.

And that's exactly what happened with Lift. I won't argue about how "good" it is. But I was thoroughly entertained. It's a fun movie with charming actors playing likeable characters. The action scenes are all enjoyable. And it has a solid musical score.

Lift was a pleasant surprise. I mostly hate straight-to-streaming movies. I just came off of an abysmal one with Amazon's Role Play. Luckily this was endlessly more enjoyable.

I am appalled by the low standard unrealistic stunts, actions and plotline. I wish it could have done little more realistic plot and acting. What a waste of talents.

The movie got all the trademark of a great heist plot and yet spoiled it badly.

Making a good movie is about making a plausible technology unless its classified as a superhero or a science fiction action. Otherwise, its an enjoyable movie to kill time.

I wish there is will not be any sequel to increase my isery even more. Now I lost word to make any more comments because movie so painful to describe how i felt. I wish its not the worst movie i ever seen.
