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.

A feeling of sparseness permeates Tim Story's new action-comedy "The Pickup." You see it in the small cast, the desolate settings, and the meager production values. If this movie were a western, then these elements might play to the film's favor.
