Ambulance

Ehhhh… You could say it’s cringe-worthy. My take is wait for it to come out on TBS! Don’t even pay to rent it or get it on-demand.

I’m really going to try to be nice to this one. Like always I didn’t watch trailer so I was expecting something good not a blockbuster; and so was everyone else screening the film. Especially with it being a Michael Bay film and the cast taking a part in the film.

Unfortunately, it sucks to say this movie was made for TV on TBS or some other channel like that on a rainy day when there’s nothing else to watch and you’re desperate to watch something to just fall asleep. This film had an opportunity to be a blockbuster with the cast and the director but it was an epic fail because it was just all over the place.

At one moment you’re watching it and it’s like OK they’re actually robbing a bank and it’s two brothers in charge of this mission with one outcome in mind… a big payday. Everything that could go wrong, does go wrong, what are the odds?! But then they’re saving a cop that one of them shot AND THEN they’re taking a hostage. Then they’re having a good heart talk and saying we’re gonna get out of this but really there’s no way out of it and it’s just going in circles and my God the camera work on this film… Jesus get ready to be dizzy and nauseous!

There were so many story lines being introduced throughout the ENTIRE film that it was hard to keep up because it’s like this isn’t Game of Thrones where you can do that and people actually pay attention. It was like ‘Bam’ here’s one story line, ‘Bam’ here’s two people we don’t know but we just found out they’re having marital problems but they have something to do with the film and what’s going on in LA right now. It just wasn’t working out right and it was really just disappointing because you have Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Marteen II, who basically did the best they could but really it’s just I don’t know how it could’ve been any worse. Having sat with a former paramedic next to me, he was just dumbfounded by the things that were happening throughout the film and how the paramedics were being portrayed. Which just goes to show it wasn’t realistic so the writers didn’t do their homework. It’s safe to say this flick was a poor man’s ‘Transformers’ film without the alien robots.
