Netflix’s most popular movie, the A-lister-loaded Red Notice, is a crime caper revolving around art theft and Interpol. Lift, the streamer’s latest original offering is… also a starry heist movie about art and Interpol. But while it doesn't do much to stand out from the platform's ever-growing, own-brand programming, it’s a lively comedy-thriller that delivers on laughs.
Directed by F. Gary Gray (Fast & Furious 8), this globe-trotter sets out its stall with a high-tech heist in Venice. In a modern twist on genre formula, our crew, led by Kevin Hart's laid-back Cyrus, are stealing an NFT; dedicated Interpol agent Abby (Loki's Gugu Mbatha-Raw) is out to stop them.
