The Pickup (2024) is an interesting blend of action and comedy that captures the chaos of a seemingly ordinary day gone haywire. You’ve got this hapless Uber driver who accidentally gets tangled up with a government spy, which leads to some comically intense situations. The pacing is a bit erratic, reflecting the frantic energy of our main character as he navigates through a series of misadventures. The practical effects in the chase scenes are pretty engaging, managing to keep the action somewhat grounded amid the absurdity. Performances are solid, with a nice contrast between the clueless driver and the no-nonsense spy. It’s one of those films that plays with the idea of everyday life intersecting with high-stakes espionage, which adds a unique flavor to the action genre.
