Gray plays to the simplest pleasures of heist cinema and wins us over because sometimes it’s alright to simply be dependable and straightforward. Read full review

A fun if by-the-numbers heist movie that brings the laughs, but doesn't stand out from the crowd. Read full review

Screen Rant Patrice Witherspoon

Packed with great action sequences and a cast that is committed to each other and the script, Gray's latest is creative and fun enough to hold attention. Read full review

Lift doesn’t seem to trust viewers enough to withhold details. It’s too insecure, too eager, too anxious to be mysterious. Its tricks are not so much revealed as word-vomited through clunky exposition. Read full review

At the end of the journey, Lift ends up as a double disappointment. It doesn’t work as a comedy, it doesn’t work as an action film, and its claim to the heist movie subgenre is tenuous at best. Read full review
