Alien at the Movies

The Pickup

It’s the “Odd Couple” meets “Armored” meets “Fast & Furious” in this heist comedy. Veteran armored car driver Russell (Eddie Murphy) is teamed up rookie Travis (Pete Davison) on a routine cash pickup when they get ambushed by criminals. Led by their mastermind Zoe (Keke Palmer), it’s a two car high speed attack where 2 of the robbers & their vehicles get strewn across the road. But Zoe manages to commandeer the armored car & forces Russell & Travis to participate in another heist. Meanwhile, Zoe’s former partners who were left behind & now seek revenge, go after Zoe, Russell, & Travis for more high speed shoot ‘m up bumper car action. Oh… and Russell’s wife Natalie (Eva Longoria) gets sucked into game plan. This one just for mindless fun & excitement as these two mismatched personalities have a very bad day.

Alien gives it 2½ “Happy Anniversary Dear” stars out of 4.
