Who Has the Best Kevin Hart Impression?
Who Has the Best Kevin Hart Impression?
We sat down with the cast of Lift to discover who has the best Kevin Hart impression.
Storyline

- TriviaAt about 1:17:30, when Jorgensen meets with the woman from Leviathan, the large painting of the sailboat hanging on the wall is Rembrandt's "Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee". It was stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston on March 18, 1990.
- GoofsIn the scene where Camila (the pilot) slams the aircraft yoke forwards to produce an all out nose dive, everyone in the plane should have been in free fall towards the back of the plane. However they are all clearly falling towards the cockpit, which would be counter to the laws of physics.

Formulaic By the Number Heist Movie
Have we not seen this type of heist film a million times before? Bad guys catch a break from law enforcement only if they do the police's dirty work for them with a big heist or job. Only for the criminals to steal the prized, priceless artifact (or the loot) at the end and then they get away with it.
Lift is no different. If we were to combine Ocean's 11 with the Fast & Furious franchise, then Lift would be that end product. Only Kevin Hart isn't even as charming as George Clooney or as smooth as Brad Pitt. Dare I say even Vin Diesel is better casted in these types of roles than Kevin Hart. Was Hart terrible? No. But he certainly did not match the acting of his counterpart and love interest, Gugulethu Sophia Mbatha-Raw, who I feel was wasted in her by-the-numbers Interpol agent-turned criminal a la Brian O'Conner from F&F films. She looked stunning though as always.
Jean Reno plays the bad guy but, seriously, we're so used to seeing him in these types of films that his presence in the film holds no weight. He's a decent actor and he's typecasted for these types of roles because he plays them well. BUT, again, it just seemed like more of the same with him as the bad guy in a heist or espionage film now where I can't even get invested in the plot cause I'm so tired of seeing him in these roles.
Anyway, Lift itself was not that bad but it's biggest sin is we have seen this plot seems like 1,000,000 times before to the point where it just gets boring. I will probably forget all about this movie by the end of the week.
One bright spot is F Gary Gary did a great job shooting the film. For the most part, it looks great. The opening scenes of Venice were breathtaking and almost makes up for the rest of the film. But the plot to highjack a plane full of gold instead of doing it on the street is just so dumb and implausible that it makes the movie dead on arrival.
