Kevin Hart's new heist comedy, Lift, has surprisingly found success on Netflix, despite receiving unfavorable reviews from critics. Directed by F. Gary Gray, the film follows a master thief named Cyrus, played by Hart himself, who is recruited by the FBI to prevent a terrorist attack. With the help of his skilled international crew, Cyrus embarks on a high-stakes heist on a plane mid-flight. The star-studded cast also includes Úrsula Corberó, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Jacob Batalon, Vincent D'Onofrio, Sam Worthington, Jean Reno, and Billy Magnussen.
Despite its release on January 12, Lift has become the No. 1 global movie on Netflix this week, as reported by the streaming platform. The film has garnered 32.8 million views and accumulated 58.5 million hours viewed during the week of January 8-14. This comes as a surprise, considering the generally negative reviews the movie has received.
