Saw it tonight! This movie gets a 5 star from me.


And no, I'm not saying it as a Transformer fan.

I didn’t have high expectations with this film, but I ended up loving every minute of it. It was just more than awesome. It was freakin' awesome. The whole movie feels very much like a modern film of the '90s action/thriller films like Speed, Point Break and Bad Boys. And I mean it in the best damn way.

Jake Gyllenhaal was so well played as the villain, he was completely insane, you can see his veins on his neck and temple. He was excellent in his role!

Throw them all together with a dash of Speed, Bad Boys, Fast Five and GTA vibes, and you've got Ambulance. I was actually surprised by how good is this movie. I hardly see how people find it boring, not even a single second was boring.

That's good to hear! I'm looking forward to this. The reviews are mixed but they were mixed for Bay's Pain and Gain and 13 Hours too and I ended up loving those.

Hmm, it's showing next week for me. If what you say is true then I also will enjoy this film. I am assuming its less than Heat and Den of Thieves correct?

reply

Cool, enjoy! The critics seems even loved it. I haven’t seen Den of Thieves, but the movie did give me Heat vibes a bit.

I am going to see it next Friday.

Neat. Sounds like a return to form for Michael Bay.

The Rock is one of my favorites, and when someone said this is Bay's best since the Rock, I had to go! First movie since February of 2020. Ambulance was our return to normalcy movie. LOL! It did not disappoint. It was very entertaining.

reply

It was entertaining but it was by no means a good movie. Good for what it was? Sure. And I was thoroughly entertained.

I gave it 5 stars too...out of 10. It's currently 6.1/10 on IMDb, so I'm think my assessment is closer than yours.
