En plein vol

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.

I found it boring. Boring dialog, boring actions, felt very low budget in many ways, from camerawork to lighting to music to script to directing. Despite low action, it was shot in 24p( standard horrible way) but in a way that introduced a lot of blur) again, nice attempts at panning, but failed on editing or the proper cameras or both.

The script is pretty bland. A predictable story we've seen in TV shows and movies 100X. Some parts of the script made no sense at all. Feels like some soap opera writer who decided to create an action, but failed to fact check everything.

Felt like an episode of a tv show that ran 45minutes too long... Now, if they would've removed 45minutes of useless content there would be an ok 6.3/10 TV show.

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.

Have we not seen this type of heist film a million times before? Bad guys catch a break from law enforcement only if they do the police's dirty work for them with a big heist or job. Only for the criminals to steal the prized, priceless artifact (or the loot) at the end and then they get away with it.

Lift is no different. If we were to combine Ocean's 11 with the Fast & Furious franchise, then Lift would be that end product. Only Kevin Hart isn't even as charming as George Clooney or as smooth as Brad Pitt. Dare I say even Vin Diesel is better casted in these types of roles than Kevin Hart. Was Hart terrible? No. But he certainly did not match the acting of his counterpart and love interest, Gugulethu Sophia Mbatha-Raw, who I feel was wasted in her by-the-numbers Interpol agent-turned criminal a la Brian O'Conner from F&F films. She looked stunning though as always.

Jean Reno plays the bad guy but, seriously, we're so used to seeing him in these types of films that his presence in the film holds no weight. He's a decent actor and he's typecasted for these types of roles because he plays them well. BUT, again, it just seemed like more of the same with him as the bad guy in a heist or espionage film now where I can't even get invested in the plot cause I'm so tired of seeing him in these roles.

Anyway, Lift itself was not that bad but it's biggest sin is we have seen this plot seems like 1,000,000 times before to the point where it just gets boring. I will probably forget all about this movie by the end of the week.

One bright spot is F Gary Gary did a great job shooting the film. For the most part, it looks great. The opening scenes of Venice were breathtaking and almost makes up for the rest of the film. But the plot to highjack a plane full of gold instead of doing it on the street is just so dumb and implausible that it makes the movie dead on arrival.

I recognize a cheap copycat of a heist movie when I see one and this is definitely one of them. I really do like Kevin Hart (THE reason I started watching this) in other movies, but this time around even he didnt make me laugh.

The bad: Kevin Hart tries to act seriously this time around and that basically is NOT his strength at all. Bummer. But what's worse though is that ALL the other actors are TOTAL NOBODIES.

More bad: supposedly a heist movie, but the heists are completely 100% STUPID AND SILLY LOOKING. This was suppose to excite me?

This looks and feels like yet another cheaply made Netflic movie, only made to fill up another time slot. To be avoided (if one can), especially by the Kevin Hart fans, of whom I am one.
