Member laagi Posted October 21, 2021 Member Share Posted October 21, 2021 (edited) Interesting that this is another remake of a danish film starring Jake Gyllenhaal (The Guilty). And while I don't speak any danish it's pretty obvious that it has a totally different tone to it. However all things aside I'm with @Drunken Monk the trailer got me interested and more importantly the action seems to deliver.

Member Drunken Monk Posted April 9, 2022 Author Member Share Posted April 9, 2022 This was the most fun I’ve had at the cinema in ages. I fucking LOVE this movie. Let me get this out of the way… If you don’t like Michael Bay’s style of direction, you won’t like this film. It’s as simple as that. However, if you like his typical brand of chaos, you should have fun with it. It starts strong and keeps the madness going. There’s carnage, laughs, heart and plenty of tension. One thing to know is that, at times, Ambulance is truly absurd. Bay makes some wildly weird choices and I loved every single one of them. They’ll frustrate some audience members, I’m sure. But it you sit back and don’t criticize every single tiny detail, those weird moments become pretty joyous. Ambulance is pure entertainment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member laagi Posted April 25, 2022 Member Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) At its best Ambulance is a pretty average action film. Not only is it way too long but also a complete mess of a film in both narrative and execution. The action which there's plenty of mainly focuses on car chases (obviously); is either cut to smithereens or captured in a way that will give you seizures. Probably the wildest camerawork I've ever seen and not in a good way. Somebody please take that drone off Michael Bay. I mean WTF!? Also the constant shouting and bickering, started to get on my nerves. Stand out performance is clearly Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Although I'll admit Jake Gyllenhaal seems to have a blast going completely over to the top! The ending IMHO sums up the movie perfectly as it's incredibly dumb and cheesy. I don't have a problem with insane over the top no logic whatsoever action BUT at least make it crisp and without a cut every god damn second!

Member WangYu Posted November 26, 2022 Member Share Posted November 26, 2022 I am one of those suckers who doesn’t move with the time so I keep saying “they don’t make em like they used to”. Michael Bay listened to me and agreed. Loved it. 8/10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
