While it first seems like a simple family drama, it soon reveals itself as a dark suspense thriller, similar to Bong Joon-ho's “Mother.” Satō Jirō's unsettling performance, Makita Ayaka's coming-of-age journey, and Shimizu Hiraya's strong presence come together to explore the boundary between good and evil.

Ambulance is a mid-budget action movie directed by Michael Bay, famous for his explosive visuals in the Transformers and Bad Boys series. This film is a remake of a 2005 Danish movie.

The movie drew attention for promising a return to Bay’s gritty action roots, similar to his 90s hits like The Rock and Armageddon. With new FPV drone shots, constant chase scenes, and tension inside the ambulance, the trailer set up expectations for a classic Bay blockbuster. But while the film delivers on action, it also brings some unexpected frustration.
