In the action-comedy The Pickup, a routine cash pickup takes a wild turn when two mismatched armored truck drivers, Russell (Eddie Murphy) and Travis (Pete Davidson), are ambushed by ruthless criminals led by a savvy mastermind, Zoe (Keke Palmer), with plans that go way beyond the cash cargo. As chaos unfolds around them, the unlikely duo must navigate high-risk danger, clashing personalities, and one very bad day that keeps getting worse.
The trailer highlights the generational and personality clash between Murphy's gruff, experienced Russell and Davidson's awkward, inexperienced Travis. Their banter and bickering provide much of the film's comedic energy, reminiscent of classic buddy comedies but with a fresh twist
The Pickup, is written by Kevin Burrows & Matt Mider, while it is produced by John Davis, John Fox, Eddie Murphy, Tim Story, and Charisse Hewitt-Webster.

This 1 hour 43 minutes film is ruling on OTT, climax will give younightmares, has no big actors, movie is..., lead actor is...
If you're a horror movie fan and looking for something bone-chillingly different this weekend, there's one film that deserves your attention — and your sleep. This movie doesn't just scare you while watching — it makes you afraid to fall asleep afterwards. Because the horror here begins inside your dreams . No big stars, no heavy promotions — just pure, unfiltered terror that's now taking OTT platforms by storm. We're talking about… We're talking about Insidious , the 2010 supernatural horror film directed by James Wan — a filmmaker known for redefining fear with eerie silence, dark suspense, and spirits that don't just haunt… they hunt . The film centres around the Lambert family and their son Dalton, who mysteriously falls into a coma. But this is no ordinary medical case — his soul is trapped in a sinister dimension known as The Further , a realm crawling with restless spirits desperate to take over his body. To rescue him, the family turns to a gifted paranormal expert, Elise Rainier. What unfolds is a terrifying journey through shadows, whispers, and the kind of imagery that stays with you long after the screen goes dark. From spine-tingling jump scares to skin-crawling tension, Insidious delivers horror that runs deep. It doesn't rely on gore — it plays with your mind. The cinematography and haunting background score are so powerful that even a quiet hallway or a creaking floorboard feels like a warning. What makes the film even more impressive is its success story. Made on a modest budget of $1.5 million (approx. Rs 12.5 crore), it went on to gross over $100 million (Rs 835 crore approx.), making it one of the biggest horror hits in its category. And now, over a decade later, it's finding new life and fresh fans on streaming platforms. The popularity of Insidious gave rise to a full-blown franchise, with sequels like Insidious: Chapter 2 , Chapter 3 , The Last Key , and The Red Door . Each entry explores a new corner of The Further , offering fresh horrors for fans who dare to continue. Streaming on… If you're into psychological horror with a supernatural edge, Insidious is the perfect weekend pick. Available now on Netflix and Prime Video — but consider yourself warned: once you watch it, even your dreams won't feel safe.
