Clue

Re-released in theaters for the film’s 40th anniversary, Clue (based off the board game of the same name) wasn’t a big hit on its release but found its audience soon after on home video and cable where it quickly became a cult craze. Released in theaters in three separate versions, each containing a different ending to the whodunit, the film follows a group of strangers brought together in an old mansion to solve the murder of their blackmailer that night which one (or more) of them have committed.

The Pickup

  • Title: The Pickup
  • IMDb: link

I love of a good heist movie. The Pickup is not a good heist movie. It’s generous to call The Pickup a film at all. The braindead comedy features Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson as armored car guards who get targeted in convoluted scheme by a beautiful young woman (Keke Palmer) with a sob story and a pair of goons (Jack Kesy and Ismael Cruz Cordova). There’s almost nothing believable about the script by Kevin Burrows and Matt Mider and less likable about the movie.
