The Pickup Ratings & Reviews
- Hunter6 augustus 2025This movie was… good. Predictable, easy to watch. The cast was great, the comedy was fairly dialed in. Not bad.
- Pablo_Saenz25 november 2025A non-stop fun ride! Loved it!
- AGENTROCKSTAR18 maart 2026New age comedy that seems a little lacking- action seems a little delayed, watch once and maybe not a repeat. Big names but falls a bit short.
- Wilson Girardi12 december 2025Waste of time
- chrizzewallwork15 november 2025Fun watch.
- marlon111626 augustus 2025Funny but predictable
- George Bananza17 november 2025Meh. I just watched for Eddie Murphy.
- Darren_Fletcher10 augustus 2025Not bad but not great
- Tommy Aronsson29 oktober 2025maybe a bit amateurishly done. But actually quite okay
- jackmeat9 augustus 2025My quick rating - 5.8/10. If you’re looking for realism, turn around now. But suppose you’re down for a ridiculous, fast-paced armored truck caper with a nostalgic 80s energy and a crew that actually seems to be enjoying themselves. In that case, The Pickup delivers a fun, if forgettable, ride. Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson pair up as mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell and Travis, who find their routine cash pickup spiraling into chaos when they’re ambushed by a crew of criminals led by Keke Palmer’s no-nonsense Zoe. The initial heist scene is tightly choreographed, with just enough tension and gunplay to get your pulse up, and thankfully not buried under a mountain of CGI nonsense. It's sleek, fun, and doesn’t overstay its welcome. Keke Palmer does a fine job chewing the scenery as the brain behind the robbery, walking the line between dangerous and reluctant killer. She’s clearly enjoying herself, and it rubs off on the rest of the cast. Murphy still has the charm, and Davidson’s usual deadpan weirdness actually complements the script well—surprisingly decent chemistry between the two. Now, if you’re like me and your eyes drifted up during the credits, you might’ve done a double take seeing names like Roman Reigns and Andrew Dice Clay. Reigns shows up briefly as an MMA champ (blink and you'll miss him), and Dice Clay gets a few lines as the dispatcher but never gets to let loose in that classic, over-the-top Dice way. A bit of a waste, but hey, fun cameos all the same. Writers Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider keep the script moving with a very “screenwriting 101” kind of plot, no surprises, but at least everything clicks into place. It’s like someone watched any Fast and Furious sequel and Heat back-to-back and decided to mash them together, minus the budget of either. And you know what? It kind of works. This isn’t Oscar bait or genre-defining, but it is a good excuse to grab a bucket of popcorn, unplug your brain, and remember what it felt like to catch an action comedy on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Just enough punch, flash, and snark to get the job done.
- fybre21 oktober 2025It's ok if you're desperate for something to watch. No idea what happened to Eddie Murphy, but he seemed to be phoning this one in.
- Richard Davis14 oktober 2025This is boring and unappealing. Approximately half-way through, I simply lost all interest as the film just has nothing to invest in and isn't a story that's worth telling. Pete Davidson plays a particularly unappealing and unfeasibly idiotic character They've clearly spent some money on the car chase sequences and attempted robbery, which are better than 'run of the mill' sequences, but what has happened to Eddie? He's so lost his action comedy mojo since BHCIII and never really refound it, not even in BHCIV, which is desperately sad to see. Eddie, please go back to your stand-up roots and find your form, re-find your offensive humour, and then stop trying to play to middle of the road families. BHC and BHCII are fabulous, fabulous films - we crave more of this from you.
- hayde5629 september 2025Not super funny and very predictable storyline but easy to watch and a good cast who know there craft.
- John Homen8 augustus 2025Had higher hopes for this one. The script needed more punch up and a better techinal consultant. davidson and murphay do well in the roles given, even if the dialogue comes off odly paced and flat in many scenes. This wont be on anyones professional highlight reels, or worst boombs of the year. Its just a solid mid range movie, and would have been a b film from the 80s, you can do better and worse than this one.
- tgz08 augustus 2025A blend of action and comedy. Both done ok.
