The Masked Cinema 2022 - Ambulance

Oh Michael Bay!

This may be another one of those Hollywood films that leads more people to just enjoying streaming services film offerings.

Ambulance is the latest action thriller film directed and produced by Michael Bay. 

Not an original film idea, it is based on the Danish film of the same name by Laurits Munch-Petersen and Lars Andreas Pedersen. 

Starring former IT man Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Eiza González. Ambulance follows two adoptive siblings turned bank robbers who hijack an ambulance and take two first responders hostage.


The trailer is so slick, I was instantly sold, however the end result was a little meeehhhhhhhhhh

The film received mixed reviews from critics, who saw it as a return to form for Bay, though the story received criticism. 

It has grossed over $31 million worldwide, against a budget of $40 million. Maybe not the result Bay was hoping for.

I am holding out for Bullock and Tatum in the Lost City.

I'll pass it for Jake, 2.4 Stars. But also did the first responder need to look like Megan Fox y'all?
