Critics Consensus

Lift may be a passable streaming option for viewers seeking mindless entertainment, but that doesn't excuse its thinly written characters or formulaic, haphazardly written story.

Audience Says

The secret to enjoying Lift is going in with low expectations -- but even then, there are plenty of better alternatives.

It's another disappointing action movie from Netflix, which has a very spotty record in this space.

Rated: 2/4

Any film that begins with an elaborate, broad daylight heist deserves viewers' attention. It's what comes between that intro and the film's adrenalin-pumping final hour that may give Netflix audiences reasons to take a refrigerator break.

Rated: 2.5/4

Loud and Clear Reviews

Overall, Lift is a fun film with beautiful scenery, but you probably won’t get any frequent flyer miles or first-class upgrades out of any rewatches. Enjoy the smooth air and give the movie a try.

Rated: 3.5/5

Lift features a stacked cast, yet the script fails to make anyone memorable.

Super boring and certainly not a comedy. I literally didn't laugh once.

If you like Kevin Hart, you'll hate this. If you don't like Kevin Hart.... you'll also hate this. Bad acting, terrible plot.

Much better than most of the reviews. Great cast. Kevin Hart playing it straight was surprisingly good. Good action.

Everything a heist movie should be: Action packed, suspenseful, threat of violence but not tons of killing, beautiful places, twists in the plot, hightech gadgets, fast vehicles, opulence... this movie has it all!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Look past the awful aviation blunders aspect of the movie and it's just ok.
