"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.

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. Davidson, the Jerry Lewis to his Dean Martin, portrays a sentimentalized version of the idiots he sometimes plays. The substance of their more substantial conversations, when they have them, is change.
