The Pickup

Movie 2025 94 min MA 15+ Action, Comedy, Crime
AMU 16+ * Quality ★★☆☆☆

Our take

The Pickup is a Prime Video heist comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson as drivers ambushed mid-job. Rated R for language throughout, some sexual references, and violence. Expect shootouts, kidnapping, car explosions, and very frequent f-word use

Story (may spoil tone)

A routine cash pickup takes a wild turn when mismatched armored truck drivers Russell and Travis are ambushed by ruthless criminals led by savvy mastermind Zoe.

Talk after watching

  • Ordinary workers land in extraordinary danger. How do people react under pressure?
  • Criminals vs. cops blur in a messy robbery. Who counts as the villain?
  • Comedy sits beside real gun threat. When does humor soften violence?
