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.

Keke Palmer and Eva Longoria also star in the latest feature from director Tim Story ('The Blackening'), about a pair of armored car guards who get ensnared in a deadly pursuit.

Eddie Murphy clocks in for a comedic heist caper with The Pickup, but has he actually shown up to goof around with Pete Davidson?
