A low-key Murphy, whose "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F" sequel was released straight-to-streaming by Netflix last year, is the responsible adult here.

"The Pickup" is Prime Video's flagship new original movie for August, and it sees Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson forced to participate in a high-stakes casino heist. But I've got bad news.
