    New Projector review! Prime Video's The Pickup teams up two SNL vets, Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson, for an action-comedy heist caper set in an armoured car, but it looks like someone has made off with the laughs. And, for once, Murphy isn't stealing this show. youtu.be/icYD1FJ9Em0

    They made a buddy action movie with Eddie Murphy and cast him as the straight man?????? What happened to us? We used to be a society (It's an Amazon movie called "The Pickup" which is either an SEO nightmare or 100% part of the plan)

TikTok giant Adam Courtliff did the honors by reviewing this lame heist movie, and from his account, I didn't miss much. 2/5. film-authority.com/2025/09/02/t...

    I really liked his vocal performance in "Dog Man." I thought the strangest use of Pete Davidson recently was in the Amazon movie "The Pickup", where they made Eddie Murphy the straight man and Davidson was given the wacky fast-talking character, when it should have been the other way around.

    Robert Downey Jnr was in a movie in 1987 called The Pickup Artist and at one point a guy tries to pick up a woman...RDJ jumps in and actually apologises for the man's behaviour, that he doesn't represent how men really are...and that is so true, especially with Tate and other a-holes like that

    'The Pickup' ended up being better than I thought it was going to be early on. Still not a good movie, mind you. Obviously the writing et al. lets this one down just as much, but it was more visually that made me care less about it - it's an ugly film, especially 'inside' that damn truck. The world of film didn't feel lived in either, namely on that long highway; I know they mention it'll be a "ghost town" but that's a cop-out. The pairing, meanwhile, of Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson is…
