- alexvla8March 16, 2026overedited overproduced corny mess written by chatgpt. nice cars.
- EdmondZippoFebruary 27, 2026Day three of trash season. There are times when the camera is hyper masculine. There are times when the camera is insane in the best way (drones). Cop cars are like a pack of wolves, drooling as they chase their prey. Ambulance very much wants to portray LA as some sort of organized state of nature: robber's gonna rob, police is gonna police. Bay portrays a system that's centuries old and wants to tell us that we're just emulating the jungle's lawlessness. Of course, the most telling flashback, while seeking to portray innocent play as a roadmap for the lives these characters end up living, is also an involuntary indictment of American conservative thinking: you are what you are. There is no opportunity for change, redemption. It's dirty determinism. Under cover of diversity that seeks to show good faith, I think this is a cynical acceptance of the mono-myth that has shaped the United States. They still live in the 19th century. It's just that the technology has gotten better.
- Ghost-HunterDecember 29, 2025Brilliant👍
- Pete MartinezNovember 30, 2025If War of the Worlds staring Ice Cube hadn’t come out this year then Ambulance would probably be the worst movie I have seen in 2025!
- Kevin WardJuly 14, 2025It was my oldest sons birthday and he wanted to go to a movie. But we’d seen everything that was playing nearby already 😁 with the exception of this rated R Michael Bay thrill ride. And man we had a really good time. This film is weirdly progressive for a Bay film—a fairly diverse cast and I didn’t notice any blatant objectification of his gorgeous female lead. Well done. What also did was use drone shots for everything. Tracking shots, dollies, pans?? Forget it. We got a drone to capture that movement. It’s pretty wild. Some of the shots captured are definitely cool, but it definitely comes off with the feeling like Bay was just really wanting to play with his new toy. As for the film, Gyllenhaal was perfectly unhinged. Yahya was great serving as the films moral center of sorts. The opening sequences with him and his wife setup his character really well. And Eiza Gonzalez was also very well cast and did great with this off the wall heist movie. The plot is totally ridiculous and I don’t think it made any sense whatsoever, but our whole family had a blast at the theaters and even more fun pointing out the ridiculousness on the car ride home.
- jackmeatAugust 31, 2025My quick rating - 6.2/10. Thought the trailer for this one looked decent. The trailer did it justice, although I will make sure to tell you right away. If you are NOT a fan of Michael Bay and his in-your-face, non-stop action that at times has camera angles that make you nauseous, then I suggest you pass on this one. Something unexpected here is the quality of acting. Yes, the storyline does merit a bit more acting chops than a Transformer or Bad Boys flick, but Jake Gyllenhaal was really perfect for the role here. To be honest, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Eiza Yahya also did fine work while whizzing around the city in a V-8-charged ambulance. Oh, so the story here is quite simple: the bad guys end up in an ambulance trying to avoid the police after a botched bank heist. González is the medic stuck along for the ride and required to keep an officer who was shot alive for leverage for our criminals. Luckily, Yahya also happens to be a world-class race car driver, so avoiding an entire city of police vehicles in pursuit of an ambulance will be a piece of cake. Normally, I would be on board in a bit of slamming this flick for the insane action, but this one does strangely balance it out well enough to fend off the haters (minus IMDB, they are strong there, but then again, sheep always follow the flock, and it is the IN thing to do to hate on Bay). The setup for the heist was simple enough that the expected problems that arose worked well, and since our actors did their jobs well, you actually gave a shit what was going on throughout the ordeal. Had the acting been subpar, this would've been a painful 136 minutes and surely would merit the cries of all action, no reason. But instead, it was an entertaining albeit a bit too long flick that fits into the summer season perfectly.
- ርልዪረAugust 3, 2025So while I'm not a fan of Michael bay, but some of his ventures like The Rock (which I absolutely love), Armageddon, pearl harbor, 13 hours are fantastic examples of his inimitable style and sometimes innovative and crazy camerawork which lends to an enjoyable viewing experience (whether the story is felt through and through is a different thing to be discussed altogether), and Ambulance is no different in terms of it's treatment of a simple plot with several beats to shed some light on the characters. With Ambulance the canvas is pretty much a variety of well known areas in NY and the landscape is simple (roads, highways, parking lots etc) yet utilized quite well thanks to some insane high octane shots, due to the FPV drone that they used. The two brothers have great chemistry which becomes obvious with each passing minute of the car chase sequence, the motivation might feel slim but with a Bay movie that's a given coz the proof is in his action! So is the case with Ambulance but what makes it fresh is the several hurdles that these two characters face during the chase which keep the audience on their toes and the ending wasn't what I had expected but one I quite liked coz it felt more real. Definitely do watch this for the action and camerawork but stay for the great chemistry between the main acts and the crazy acting by Jake Gyllenhaal, he's been my fav for years but even though this project was so not his type of work, yet he truly made it his own.
- PrOx GaZzMay 12, 2025This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat from the start. For a bank heist genre there are some intelligent relationships that grow carefully as the story is told. No shortage of intensity and the Michael Bay filming is outstanding. So much fun and a great escape.
- John HomenMarch 16, 2025SKIP it and watch heat instead Too long, but at least 30 minutes, and the amount of fast cuts makes you think they went to tiktock for how to make a movie. The movie looked like it was going to be good. Shooting was on point, the audio was solid, acting for the most part was above expectations. The issues with the writers and editor. No spoilers here, but they wrote this like there was no bad idea from a heist film so lets use them all. In everyway heat (1995) did a better job with the smart tough bank heist crew staying ahead of the man until they dont. If they do a trimmed down directors cut with an alt ending them it might be worth the time, but its a 2 hour 16 minute long DONT.
