The Pickup

In "The Pickup," a routine cash collection spirals into chaos when armored truck drivers Russell and Travis find themselves targeted by a cunning gang led by the resourceful Zoe. As Zoe orchestrates a daring heist to steal a massive sum from an Atlantic City casino, she manipulates the unsuspecting Travis, leveraging his naivety to execute her plan. With Russell’s wife held as leverage, the duo is thrust into a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, navigating thrilling chases and unexpected twists. While the film offers moments of humor and excitement, it grapples with a script that falls short in coherence and character depth. Despite its flaws, "The Pickup" showcases standout performances, particularly from Keke Palmer, and delivers a mix of comedic and action-packed sequences that keep viewers engaged.
