Director: Michael Bay. Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Eiza González. 136 min. Action/Crime.
- There used to be a time when in the realm of action, Michael Bay used to make fairly decent movies (I regard The Rock as one of the best action movies ever made). But then he started making those Transformers flicks, and now this is where we are: Ambulance. IMDb puts the synopsis very well: "Two robbers steal an ambulance after their heist goes awry." That's it. Two robbers steal an ambulance and the police chase them - the most simple, most primitive form of entertainment catering to the lowest denominator capitalism could have ever conceived. Just that now, in addition to the CGI technology he abused to its fullest in Transformers, Bay is equipped (or better said ... armed) with drone shots, twisting and twirling around cars and skyscrapers, for no reason other than to sustain an artificial momentum on an action movie. This movie is so crazy, the robbers listen to Christopher Cross' relaxing "Sailing" in the heat of one of its innumerable, boring chase scenes. By the end, I predicted I may have seen my worst movie of 2022.
