Kerry Washington, that's my baby
If I never see another film, my thirst for sincere and captivating performances will be quenched by the shining Ms. Washington and the amazing Barbara Montgomery. This film, despite its rather gloomy setting, is eventually all about redemption and hope. The stories of those in Lift are noble, real narratives about love, courage, and transformations. I loved seeing Kerry Washington running so fast in this movie and she was pregnant and not wearing running shoes.

Good film, I couldn't stop watching!
Kerry Washington stars in this film as a young woman who works in an upscale department store by day but her real action is in her side job as a booster someone who lifts all the hot fashions and sells them to people in the streets. I had a hard time understanding the characters motivation for why she did what she did. She was praised by her supervisors and her boyfriend was against her chosen profession--especially when things get risky. Kerry's character is pregnant in the film but not showing. The pregnancy aspect of the storyline is so thin I almost wondered if she was going to say "suprise," and it was all a big joke or something. Her mother is very cold hearted and not a very warm person but Kerry's character goes out of her way to please her mother and when her mom sees a diamond necklace that she would like she makes it her goal to lift the diamond necklace for her mom, trouble is she would need the help of a man named Christian--someone her boyfriend Angelo wants her to stay away from. The best things about this film is that it shows people there are no free rides and there are consequences for every action. But the pregnancy thing...ahhh could have been left out because nothing about her said "pregnant" especially when she was running her tail around.

Love, theft, and the choices that make or break a life.
Just like life, every character in this movie has flaws... including the intelligent and clean-cut main character who's shoplifting big-ticket items even though she has a nice job. Her mother requests an expensive necklace, which will require a jewelry store heist to acquire. She decides to go ahead with the robbery, although her boyfriend begs her not to do it. To complicate things, she then learns that she is pregnant. Is she willing to risk everything to please her selfish mother? This movie gets into the psyche of each character, which is really the reason I loved watching it. It's not about stealing as much as it is about family, forgiveness and love.
