About Ambulance
Ambulance follows Will Sharp, a decorated veteran who finds himself strapped for cash to cover his wife's medical bills. He reluctantly enlists his adoptive brother Danny, a flashy career criminal, who pitches him an audacious plan: pull off the biggest bank heist in Los Angeles history and walk away with 32 million dollars. Will, desperate enough to risk everything, agrees, drawn into a reckless scheme that spirals into a brutal test of trust, loyalty, and survival. Danny's swagger masks a volatile mix of charm and calculation, while Will wrestles with duty to family and fear of losing the woman he loves. As the job spirals, their choices draw in a chain of reckless allies and relentless law enforcement, turning a simple plan into a nerve shredding chase through city streets, alleys, and hospitals.
Directed by Michael Bay, Ambulance is an English language remake drawn from the Danish film Ambulancen, with a screenplay by Chris Fedak and the Danish creators Laurits Munch-Petersen and Lars Andreas Pedersen. Jake Gyllenhaal plays Will Sharp and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II portrays Danny, with Eiza González and Garret Dillahunt rounding out the cast.
Box office gross was about $52,303,589 worldwide on a $40,000,000 budget, reflecting a solid but not blockbuster performance for a high octane Bay production. Domestic results were solid while international numbers helped reach the total.
The film did not garner major nominations or wins at mainstream awards, keeping the focus on its spectacle rather than awards recognition. Some outlets highlighted its relentless pace and visual flair, but the absence of major nominations kept it out of the running for top ceremonies.
Reception leans mixed with an audience score around 6.6 out of 10 from 2,362 votes. The film probes desperation, loyalty, and the moral cost of shortcuts, framing a tense chase against a backdrop of personal debt and a brotherly rift.
What Viewers Are Saying
Audiences say Ambulance is pure Michael Bay energy, packed with car chases explosions and Jake Gyllenhaal going full tilt as a deranged driver. They note a thin plot and frenetic editing that can feel dizzy, with camera work that sometimes crosses into headache territory, especially in the aerial shots. Some call it popcorn escapism and praise Gyllenhaal along with Eiza Gonzalez, while others sigh that the two hours drag and the action doesn t earn its payoff.
