“I’m enjoying every second of this.” That’s what Kevin Hart’s self-assured art thief tells Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s nervous Interpol detective just as the flight on which they’ll attempt a near-gravity defying heist is about to take off in Netflix’s new action-thriller “Lift” and, truth be told, you’ll probably be singing the same tune when you watch it.
Despite doing very little to reinvent the wheel (even with an NFT subplot), this new crowd pleaser is so fast and fun that it’s sure to give family movie nights a jolt of excitement everywhere…even if the finished product feels a bit generic for tried and true heist film diehards.
