Pete Davidson does a great job in this role. Overall, I enjoyed the movie it was fun. It is just a typical heist movie and I felt like the main bad guy wasn’t very convincing as a bad guy. other than that, I’m glad I watched the movie.

I just heard about this movie this week and it’s exactly what you would expect from a straight to streaming film. The action production value is impressive and it managed to get a few laughs out of me. It’s not great, but not terrible, it’s enough to escape for 94 minutes.

"The Pickup" dropped off faster than Eddie Murphy's smile after making a joke. The cast is stacked with charisma, yet somehow there's no chemistry between them. Ismael Cordovo was probably the only interesting character, even with less than 5 minutes of screen time, and he's not even a comedian compared to the likes of Eddie Murphy, Pete Davidson, and Keke Palmer. You'd expect at least one laugh, but it didn't even manage to crack a grin out of me. The story, script, and action are below the 'straight-to-streaming' average, so don't expect too much, or you'll end up feeling disappointed, like I did.

A shallow Action Comedy with a carload of unlikable fools that will steal your 90 minutes and leave you holding an empty bag of disappointment.

Pete Davison blows this for me. A comedian that think is an actor. No no.

It was good! Nothing to rave about but worth a watch if you want an action

Couple little stories cross over with a lot of sorta resolutions. So….good? You got three people being hilarious and holding their own with some minor drama and action as well

The cast adds charm, especially during the chaotic miscommunications that shape the story. It’s laid-back tone and everyday-people-stuck-in-trouble energy give it a fun, easygoing appeal.

Riddled with cliches, stereotypical action sequences, lazy plot writing, but at least there’s Keke Palmer and Pete Davidson. Unfortunately mostly forgettable in the end and a waste of a good cast.
