F. Gary Gray’s 2024 Netflix movie Lift is a retread of his previous, very good buddy-heist film The Italian Job, itself inspired by the success of the great buddy-heist film Ocean’s Eleven. Lift is certainly not great, and not even as good as The Italian Job, but it has a gentle heartwarming quality that makes it worth watching. It’s like a Hallmark movie with violence and a pro-crime message.
