Lift Movie Review 2001

Niecy (Washington) is a fashionable designer at a tony Boston store whose second job is as a "booster." She steals jewelry and couture clothes and adds to her own wardrobe while selling some of the merchandise. Her boyfriend Angelo (Byrd) urges Niecy to quit but she's seeking the approval of her embittered mother Elaine (McKee) and decides to boost an expensive necklace her mother has admired. Naturally, this job is the one that goes very wrong.
