The Italian Job

Arguably F. Gary Gray's best movie, The Italian Job is one of the most enjoyable heist movies ever made. The film has an all-star cast of Mark Wahlberg, Edward Norton, Jason Statham, Charlize Theron, Yasiin Bay, and Donald Sutherland. Similar to Lift, the main objective in The Italian Job is to acquire gold bars through a daring heist operation. For viewers who thought that Kevin Hart's Lift didn't excite them as much as they had hoped, The Italian Job will certainly make up for some of that lost entertainment value.

Russell, Three Kings follows a group of American soldiers in Iraq who are on a mission to find hidden gold at the end of the Gulf War.

The Fate of the Furious

The Fate of the Furious was also directed by F. Gary Gray, which is why viewers of Lift might notice some similarities between the two films. The Fast franchise has notably shifted gears from racing to heist operations over the years, particularly in Fast Five (2011). While The Fate of the Furious is not a heist movie, fans of F. Gary Gray's work in Lift should definitely check out one of the most popular movies of the Fast franchise, which stars Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, and Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

Focus features a complicated romantic dynamic between its two leads who must work together to acquire a major payday mixed inside a story full of laughs, twists, and action. The onscreen chemistry between Robbie and Smith is more than enough reason to check out Focus, which can be streamed on MAX.
