The Ambulance

I have already seen movies where banks were robbed by trained monkeys, people disguised as monkeys, psychopaths, mutants, toddlers, idiots, or those who wanted to help others. I have also seen a thousand variations of the escape, which was in a wreck, a car ready for the scrapyard, a van, a police car, a fire truck, a racing car, maybe even a formula, a fighter jet, and who knows what else. However, I have not seen the escape where the ambulance plays the main role. Moreover, fully loaded with a man who has just had a heart attack and a nurse who was supposed to take care of him. And considering that this film is labeled as a TV movie, hats off to what the creators have achieved. It may look like TV, but all the action and suspense are flawless. (19/08/2011)

When it comes to the script (or at least the premise), this an imaginative but emotionally flat Danish thriller that at times resembles something Alarm for Cobra 11 – The Highway Police. Two completely different brothers are faced with a difficult choice, and whatever they decide, it won't be without consequences. I quite liked the idea of the in-body camera and the heart shots, as well as the acceptable running time. In short, a film that could have been much better, but it’s still worth watching. (14/07/2011)
