I've had this film on VHS for years and I wanted to get it on DVD.It's a fast-paced thriller with some unlikely comedic moments and a film that I'm sure fish-faced actor Roy Scheider would probably like to forget.I bought this mainly for the ultra-sexy Vanity who plays a stripper.Oddly enough,I found her to be at her sexiest not when she was stripping,but when she was being tortured in bed.One of my favorite adult film actresses,Amber Lynn,makes a cameo appearance.The story,in a nutshell,is all about a rich guy(Scheider)being blackmailed to the tune of 52 grand(hence the title)by some creeps who discovered that he cheated on his high-powered wife(played capably by Ann-Marget)with the much younger Kelly Preston(or,the future Mrs. John Travolta).While this film was not a major hit(even though it features some formerly popular actors)it still is quite entertaining for people who have a taste for this type of cinema.As you may imagine,given the plot,there is some interesting dialogue and at times the tension is quite high.The sex and violence are kept to a relative mimimum,but just enough to bait the viewer.Read full review
52 Pick-Up is a great thrill of a film, with very fine acting and great looking Ann Margret. Story here is well told to those who watching the film, just all around good thriller.

This is a great movie if you like the underdog to have the bad guy's lunch. Every character in this movie you love to love, or you love to hate. I guess the moral of this movie is: Be careful who you pick on! What seems like easy money turns our very bad for the bad guys. Never have I enjoyed the destruction of a classic Jag like I enjoyed this one. Everyone with a taste for revenge and get-back-ery will have a great time with this flick!
Just read the book a great book. I wanted to see how the movie matches the book.
