AMERICAN actor-comedians Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson have teamed up for The Pickup, a heist movie that sees them sparring as a pair of incompatible armoured truck drivers.

Starring opposite Murphy, 64, was “a bucket list thing” for Davidson, 31, who has admired Murphy’s work since he was seven.
