Eddie Murphy is back! 😍 After his amazing comeback in Coming 2 America, I can't wait to see him in this action-comedy. The pairing with Pete Davidson seems unusual but interesting. Hope Prime Video releases it in India same day as US!

The plot sounds like a typical Hollywood action comedy, but with Eddie Murphy's comic timing, it might be worth watching. Though I wish Indian OTT platforms would invest in such big-budget original films too. We have great actors who can pull off similar roles!

Not sure about Pete Davidson's acting skills, but Eddie Murphy is pure gold. Remember his Donkey voice in Shrek? Legendary! Hope this movie brings back that classic Murphy energy. The director's previous work is decent too - Barbershop was hilarious.

August 2025 is so far away! 😫 Why do they announce movies so early these days? By the time it releases, we'll forget about it. But the cast looks solid - Eva Longoria is always good to watch. Hope the script does justice to all these talented actors.

Another Hollywood film going straight to OTT. Theatres are really suffering. I miss the experience of watching Eddie Murphy's comedies in cinema halls with friends. Remember how fun Beverly Hills Cop was on big screen? Those were the days...

The concept sounds similar to many Bollywood films where two opposites are forced to work together. But with Hollywood's production values and Murphy's charm, it could be special. Just hope they don't rely too much on crude humor - we've seen enough of that from Pete Davidson.
