What is it about?
A skilled and experienced art thief plans an impossible heist with his elite team: to steal half a billion dollars worth of gold from a plane in the sky.
who is he with
It is a good actor that Netflix has offered itself in full flight: Kevin Hart, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sam Worthington, Ursula Corbero (Tokyo from La Casa de Papel) or even our French Jean Reno – who is not one of of them. The first cooperation with the platform – will appear there.
is it worth watching
Second break for Netflix. After Berlin and its Iberian Thieves, the platform today puts online In Full Flight (Lift), a heist film with a heterogeneous cast. A heist film directed by F. Gary Gary, a genre regular (FF8, MIB International, etc.) who knows how to impress when it comes to action.
It’s impossible not to think of Ocean’s Saga when you watch In Flight. Its international cast includes American, French, Spanish, British and South Korean actors. The team, led by the character of Cyrus (Kevin Hart), is made up of specialists: Camilla (Ursula Corbero) is an outstanding pilot, Denton (Vincent D’Onofrio) is an expert in camouflage, and Magnus (Billy Magnussen) knows. How to crack any chest.
It could be said that In Full Flight does not invent the heist movie genre. On the contrary. If the film is predictable in every way, the bias is to delight the audience with likable characters, circumstances in the four corners of the world that make you want to buy a ticket to go there, and as pleasant WTF scenes as possible. In short, a movie where the good guys are nice (even though they’re criminals) and the bad guys are really bad (even if we only get to see them on screen for 10 minutes).
Perfect entertainment for your weekend evenings.
