At the heart of it all is Eddie Murphy, bringing his seasoned comic timing and wild-card energy to a role where he’s less slapstick, more savvy — grounding the whole thing even as things go off the rails.
-
Keke Palmer totally holds her own, stepping into action-hero energy and showing off her range in a part that’s smarter and more intense than what the trailer even hints at.
-
And Pete Davidson? He’s serving authentic rookie vibes with plenty of one-liners and comedic contrast next to the veterans, proving he can hang and then some.
Low Key:

Essence’s clip highlights how these three talk real chemistry, grounded performances, and what director Tim Story brought to the set — making sure the action felt as genuine as the jokes.

Behind the laughs and explosions is teamwork, respect, and some unexpected depth in how they built their characters together.
