Andrea’s Angle | “Ambulance” – Skimpy Plot, Dizzying Action
When I watched the trailers for this film, I was excited. Not only are there some excellent actors involved but with this being a Michael Bay film, I expected massive action. His films aren’t known for tons of plot but what I didn’t expect was funny dialogue, dizzying action scenes with excellent acting despite a lack of true character development.
There are elements I truly enjoyed. One of the best aspects besides the acting, is the dialogue. Throughout the film the dialogue has punch to it. The dialogue is utilized to lighten up the tension at points throughout the movie and in those scenes, there are some real laugh out loud moments. The dialogue also assists with the tension and conflict between not only law enforcement but the hostages and their captors. While there are times where the dialogue is used to inform the audience, there are some real authentic moments highlighted by the dialogue.

Ambulance
Genre: Action/Crime/Drama
Over one day across the streets of L.A., three lives will change forever. Decorated veteran Will Sharp (Emmy winner Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, CANDYMAN, THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS), desperate for money to cover his wife’s medical bills, asks for help from the one person he knows he shouldn’t—his adoptive brother Danny (Oscar® nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, ZODIAC, SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME). Danny offers him a score: the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history: $32 million.
But when their getaway goes spectacularly wrong, the desperate brothers hijack an ambulance with a wounded cop clinging to life and ace EMT Cam Thompson (Eiza González, FAST & FURIOUS PRESENTS: HOBBS & SHAW, BABY DRIVER) onboard. AMBULANCE opens in theaters Friday, April 8, 2022.
