The plot centers on an Afghan war veteran who gets involved with his brother in a bank robbery. However, things do not go according to plan and the brothers have to hijack an ambulance along with the hostages. This situation reveals a painful past in the relationship of the characters, who must fight for their survival.
Ambulance 4K ReviewAmbulance is a little too long and the humour doesn't always work which is typical of its director but it's still a strong return to form for Michael Bay that plays to his strengths whilst also having more emotional weight than his usual work.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II gives a great lead performance as an anchor for all the chaos. Jake Gyllenhaal is incredible, gleefully unhinged with lots of erratic energy that's ridiculously fun to watch. Eiza Gonzalez is also great, with a fully realized character and very satisfying emotional journey.
Michael Bay's direction is fantastic, full of the required energy with plenty of visceral action sequences and impressive drone work by Alex Vanover. The music by Lorne Balfe is really good, ridiculously bombastic and epic which works perfectly for a Michael Bay film.
