The post ‘The Pickup’ Star Eddie Murphy Recalls Pioneering The Action Comedy With ’48 Hrs.’ As New Film Premieres appeared first on Blavity. The "Nobody 2" actress got an Oscar nomination for her role in the classic Martin Scorsese movie, but it wasn't easy to film.

Tim Story knows a thing or two about bringing opposites together. From Ride Along’s odd-couple cop antics to Think Like a Man’s ensemble charm, the filmmaker thrives on pairing distinct personalities and letting sparks fly.

In a world where those concepts were included, however, Prime Video’s new action-comedy The Pickup would be the pictured and heavily cited example, because wow, what an exercise in unexpectedly rampant disappointment.
