According to Flix Patrol, Ambulance is the new addition that has surpassed several popular productions in Amazon’s catalog. Michael Bay, known for directing action films like Armageddon, took charge of the project.
The filmmaker is recognized for his visual style and focus on spectacular action scenes, so the movie features intense and exciting sequences. The title is a remake of a Danish film, Ambulancen, released in 2005.
Ambulance ranked No. 7 on Prime Video worldwide
Despite Jake Gyllenhaal‘s action-packed thriller being released in 2022, it has once again become a trend this week on the Amazon streaming platform, gaining hundreds of new views. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Eiza González are the actors who have accompanied the star in leading roles.
Ambulance is the new seventh most-watched film on Prime Video, and according to the specialized site Flix Patrol, it has managed to surpass other major productions in the catalog, such as John Wick: Chapter 4 with Keanu Reeves, The Surprise Visit with Rob Riordan and Role Play with Kaley Cuoco.
The story follows two brothers, who become involved in a bank robbery. After the robbery, they decide to escape in an ambulance, triggering a series of intense and dangerous events. The plot focuses on the race against time and the tension between the characters involved.
Michael Bay (Transformers and Bad Boys) not only directed the film but also served as a producer alongside a significant group of executives, including James Vanderbilt, Bradley Fischer, Will Sherak, Ian Bryce and Chad Oman.
Jake Gyllenhaal talked about the experience of working with Michael Bay
Two years ago, the main cast was interviewed by Collider, and during the conversation, Jake Gyllenhaal talked about Michael Bay, who is considered a respected filmmaker within the industry. There, he confessed:
“In the action genre, I think he’s an auteur and his style in working is about capturing what is alive and real in a moment. And I think outside of Fincher and comparatively Bay, I think every great director that I’ve worked with is going after what is honest.
They’re great because that’s what they’re trying to do, whether it’s in the frame, which I know Fincher spends a lot of time focused on. Michael does too, in a totally different way. They’re actually radically similar in them following energy that they feel is honest”.
How did Ambulance differ from other thrillers?
Ambulance sets itself apart from other thrillers with its intense and action-packed plot centered around a bank robbery and the subsequent getaway in an ambulance. The film stands out due to the direction of Michael Bay, known for his spectacular visual style and exciting action sequences.
The story unfolds in real-time, adding an additional layer of tension and urgency to the plot. The combination of a bank robbery, an escape in an ambulance, and a race against time creates an atmosphere full of suspense and danger. The film successfully keeps the viewer engaged with its fast-paced rhythm and unexpected twists in the plot.
