"Kevin Hart and Gugu Mbatha-Raw Star in 'Lift': A Heist Flick Worth Watching?"

In F. Gary Gray's Netflix film "Lift," Kevin Hart plays Cyrus, the leader of a group of tech-savvy thieves aiming to steal from the wealthy and help artists. Gugu Mbatha-Raw portrays Interpol agent Abby, tasked with recruiting Cyrus' crew to stop a billionaire's destructive plan. Despite promising elements, the film's clunky exposition and lack of trust in viewers detract from its potential, with Hart's performance and the mismatched romance between the leads falling short. While the heist scenes inject some thrills, "Lift" ultimately fails to inspire much intrigue.
