Michael Bay's spectacular highly suspenseful caper action epic is filled with jaw-dropping action sequences and thrilling kinetic cinematography. It takes place in Los Angeles where a decorated Marine veteran named Will Sharp, superbly played by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, desperately needs money for his beloved wife's lifesaving cancer operation because he cannot get insurance coverage for her. In desperation he reluctantly turns to his crazy career criminal adoptive brother Danny Sharp, sensationally played by Jake Gyllenhaal in an intense scene-stealing performance that is unforgettable, who is about to commit a $32 million dollar bank heist with a group of muscle bound thugs, he recruits Will to join the group. But a set of unforeseen circumstances will turn the bank job into a deadly nightmare. Will and Danny end up shooting a cop, and soon after hijacking at gunpoint the very ambulance that the seriously wounded cop is in, along with the beautiful and tough paramedic Cam Thompson, terrifically played by Eiza Gonzalez, who has no choice and must comply, she is to keep the cop alive at all costs or she will be killed by Danny, who wants the cop as insurance against the army of L. A. police who are in hot high-speed pursuit and are hellbent on nailing them. Solid direction by Bay who gives us breathtaking action set pieces, and fine performances from his cast that includes A Martinez, Garret Dilahunt, Keir O'Donnell, Olivia Stambouliah, Mose Ingram, Colin Woodell, Cedric Sanders, and Jesse Garcia. Ambulance is not a brainy film, it is a riveting popcorn thriller that is pure escapism and will have you at the edge-your-seat from beginning to end. Highly recommended.
