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.

As usual, an expensive cast can't help with a poor script of less than B-grade quality. Kevin Hart is mis-cast and has zero charisma as the supposed leader of an elite team of art thieves. A few other names show up but have little to do.

Action is kind of feeble, except for the initial Venice boat chase which is just OK. The actual plot, such as it is, makes very little sense, and seems essentially random.

Even my wife, who is very tolerant for basic fun movies, was openly mocking the ridiculous and predictable script by the end.

Yes, it's another half-hearted by the numbers effort by Netflix. No, it's really not worth your time. I regretted watching it.

Cyrus (Kevin Hart) leads a team of high tech thieves. His one-time fling Abby (Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is the pursuing Interpol art agent. Her superior Huxley (Sam Worthington) offers him immunity if he steals $500 million in gold. Evil criminal Jorgenson (Jean Reno) has to transfer that much to hacker group Leviathan to take over the water infrastructure of the world.

Kevin Hart is being cool Kevin Hart instead of the usual manic clown Kevin Hart. I like this for him. Generally, I like most of the cast. On the other hand, the story is one of those written by A. I. It has ridiculous turns, ridiculous technobabble, and a ridiculous caper. As long as one is willing to live with the ridiculous, this is a light forgettable escapist time.

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.
