Danny Sharp ( Jake Gyllenhaal), his brother, opted for life as a career criminal and prides himself on being less of a psychopath than their now-deceased bank-robber dad. Will Sharp (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II) is a decorated war vet hitting wall after wall when it comes to locking down life-saving medical care for his wife (Moses Ingram). Yet in spite of (or perhaps because of) its myriad flaws, it’s impossible to resist the film’s siren song. ![]() None of those movies are good, exactly, but none of them are boring either, and thrown together this way, they fuse into a Frankenstein’s monster of explosions and nonsense, pathos and plot holes. ![]() "Ambulance" - sorry, "AmbuLAnce" - is a patently absurd feast of spectacle and camp, a bifurcated mess that can’t decide what kind of movie it wants to be and so chooses instead to be several movies at once. "Stupid," in this case, is both a complaint and a compliment. ![]() Did you know that LA is also a place more formally known as Los Angeles? And that this movie is set there? Don’t worry - if you forget, Bay will remind you.
