   Someone gave Michael Bay a drone for Christmas and he loves his new toy

   Me? Watch a Michael Bay movie? It happens! And Ambulance, though a lot of is predicated on people making dumb mistakes or being quite terrible at their jobs (some of these car crashes are entirely avoidable, officers!), is a hoot and a half and shows Bay can still do effective action when he's not faffing about with video game cut scenes. There's an over-reliance on movement - this is a drone-happy flick - but it kind of fits the story, right? It's a huge, extended chase scene with bank robbers who have hijacked an ambulance vs. L.A.'s entire police force. "We don't stop!" His movies can be accused of being soulless, but casting can offer redemption. Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Eiza González are all engaging performers and bring their own soul regardless of Bay's deeper interest in plot mechanics (and still, they all have character arcs, with González's paramedic coming off as the actual main character). The cops are quickly drawn, but are entertaining for various reasons - we could have watched Ambulance from THEIR point of view and been entertained. (Could have done without those two cops consistently referencing Michael Bay movies, but jury's still out whether I liked that or not.) It's big, dumb, edge-of-your-seat fun, but not without heart, so I'm surprising myself by extending my thumb upwards. 10 months ago
